NHL betting action will take us to Raleigh, NC as the Carolina Hurricanes host the Florida Panthers in one of seven pro hockey games available for betting at your favorite sportsbooks. Both teams are out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture at the moment, with Florida in 12th place only 4 points out of the final postseason slot. Carolina is behind them in 14th place.

The careless bettor will look at the standings , conclude that Florida is the superior team and bet accordingly. That’s why current form is so important in all forms of sports handicapping. Florida hasn’t done much as the NHL approaches its Winter Olympic break losing 3 straight and 6 of their L10 games. Their offense has been downright nonexistent over that stretch, with the Panthers not scoring more than 2 goals in any of their last 10 games.
Carolina, on the other hand, has been one of the hottest teams in the East as they try to dig out of the big hole they made for themselves with their substandard play early on. Hurricanes have won 7 of their last 10 games thanks in large part to improved goaltending and more intensity on the defensive end. Carolina has dominated the head to head series on their home ice, winning 7 of the last 9 meetings. Two teams heading in different directions at this point, and we’ll gladly lay a small favorite moneyline price with the surging Hurricanes.
Bet Carolina -125 over Florida
