New York Islanders vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/07/25

This game is the second in less than 24 hours for both teams. It’s also already their 4th game in December. The Islanders and Panthers have played a lot of hockey in a short amount of time. Both teams are already short due to injuries. The quick turnaround should only make getting up for this game even tougher. There is a good chance fans see a couple of tired, sore teams in this one. The potential sluggish nature of the game should favor the goaltenders and in general, the game total under. 

A low game total should be driven by primary factors of each team: the Islanders’ recent trends and general strength of goal prevention, and the Panthers’ snake bitten goal scoring. The under has hit in 8 out of the Islanders’ last 10 games, including 3 straight on the road. The Islanders boast the 9th best goal prevention in the league and the 7th best penalty kill. Their ability to keep the puck out of the net reinforces unders trends, and also makes for a good matchup against a Panthers team that has struggled a bit to score lately. The under has a good look in this one.

Under 6.5 (-130) available at the time of publishing. Playable to under 6.0.
