Florida Panthers vs Pittsburgh Penguins Predictions, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/23/25

The Pittsburgh Penguins travel to Florida to take on the Panthers for the first time this season. The defending back-to-back Stanley Cup champions have gotten off to a mediocre start, posting a 4-4-0 record and scoring just 2.38 goals per game. It’s not shocking to see them struggle considering the number of injuries with which they are dealing. Defensively they have been fine, but it’s hard to win hockey games when you don’t find the back of the net.

For the Penguins, they have silenced the preseason haters. They are 5-2-0 on the year, with an impressive 3-1-0 record on the road. The Panthers haven’t lost a game on home ice this season, but that could change as early as tonight. Pittsburgh is finding a way to score goals despite averaging just 26 shots on goal a game. The goals will come down as the season progresses, but it’s the Pens’ strong goaltending that has been the difference maker. This game probably won’t be a blowout, meaning anyone has a chance to win. The Panthers are receiving too much praise due to their home record. Yes, they have been good — but they are still 1-4 over their last 5 while Sidney Crosby and the gang have won 3 in a row. I’ll take the Penguins to come away with the win.
