Prediction: Carolina Hurricanes VS Florida Panthers 2025-05-26
The Carolina Hurricanes are on the brink of elimination, and I'm not exactly shocked. I mean, who needs a functioning offense when you're facing a team that can score five consecutive goals in a single period? The Florida Panthers have been on fire, dropping 16 goals on the Hurricanes like they're a team of all-stars playing against a group of beer-leaguers.
But in all seriousness, the Panthers are looking fierce, and it's hard to see the Hurricanes coming back from a 3-0 deficit. The Panthers have been dominating, and their offense has been clicking on all cylinders.
As for injuries, I don't have any info on significant players being out, but I do know the Hurricanes are running out of time.
The odds for this one aren't provided, but I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say the Panthers are likely favorites at home. My best bet for this matchup would be the Florida Panthers to win, likely on the moneyline. They've got the momentum, the home-ice advantage, and a whole lot of confidence after that insane third-period comeback in Game 3. Unless the Hurricanes can suddenly find a way to shut down the Panthers' offense, I think it's all over but the crying for Carolina. Panthers to win, and likely to close out the series.
