CAR Hurricanes vs FLA Panthers Prediction: the Hurricanes will be able to beat the reigning champion

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on September 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Rod Brind'Amour used a semi-full lineup for the game against Tampa Bay to see what the reserve players could do. The Lightning pressed throughout the game, but the Hurricanes managed to hold on and even record their first win. There was no scoring sensation, but Carolina showed pragmatic hockey, which paid off. For the home game with Florida, we expect to see the same lineup with the same names, but with some rotation.

Florida will be defending the league title this season. Last season, the Panthers actually looked really good. They made it all the way to the playoff finals, where they almost had a huge setback. Leading 3:0 in the series against Edmonton, the Panthers suffered three losses in a row. Thankfully, the seventh game was played in front of their own stands and Florida managed to take the Stanley Cup for themselves. As for its performance in the preseason, the team recorded two wins over Nashville (3:2 and 6:2) and one loss to Tampa Bay (7:8) in three games played.

In this pairing, we are more inclined to the victory of the Hurricanes. Florida has played more games in the preseason, but the Hurricanes have the home stands on their side. After a long break, Carolina is coming home, especially after a win over Tampa Bay. In our opinion, the Hurricanes will be able to beat the reigning champion.
