Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on February 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Carolina is trying to catch up with the top three leaders of the Eastern Conference. They sit in fourth place in the standings with 71 points, six less than the third-place Rangers. The Hurricanes are gaining points rather quickly, as a result of which they will have no problem catching up. The Hurricanes approach the game with Florida after three straight wins - 5:1 over Arizona, 3:1 over Vegas and 6:3 over Chicago.

Florida has a good chance at the Stanley Cup in the current campaign. The team is showing the best kind of hockey and is fighting for the leading position with Boston and the Rangers. The rivals are going head-to-head, as a result of which any defeat now could play a significant role. The Panthers perfectly hold the bar, winning nine games out of the previous ten, with a total score of 42:16 - the best indicator in the East in this period of time.

Due to the home stands, the analysts of bookmakers favoured the home team, while we are more inclined to the success of the guests. Florida now shows a stable game, winning from match to match, and with far from weak opponents. The Hurricanes beat outsiders in two of the last three games. We also note that the Panthers have the worst rate in the East for the total over (5.5). Based on this, we'll bet on the guests not losing, reinforcing the bet with the total under with a reserve.
