Florida Panthers vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/30/25

The Montreal Canadiens make the third stop on a 7-game road trip on Tuesday night in Sunrise, Florida against the Panthers. Win or lose, the Habs have been making things interesting, going 3-0-2 in the past five games, with a pair of shootout losses in 2 of the first 3 games on the journey, including a 4-3 shootout win last time out on Sunday. Backstop Jacob Fowler has paired with Jakub Dobes, giving Montreal surprising stability in between the cage lately. And, oddly enough, Montreal has had a spell over Florida lately, winning 5 in a row in the series since April 2, 2024, outscoring the two-time defending champs 19-8 in the surprisingly dominant span.

The Panthers toppled the Washington Capitals 5-3 last time out as moderate underdogs, and the goals have been flying on both ends. Since Dec. 19, Florida is averaging 3.6 goals per game, while allowing 3.6 goals in that span. It’s no surprise that the Over is a perfect 5-0 in the span, and 8-2 across the previous 10 outings. For Montreal, it has cashed the Over in each of the first three games on the trip, averaging 4.3 goals per game, while allowing 3.7 GPG. We should have an offensive game in South Florida on Tuesday night. And, remember the Habs’ dominance in this series, if you’re into playing a possible same game parlay.

Canadiens vs Panthers prediction: Over 6.5 (-105) at time of publishing. Playable to -120.
