Carolina Hurricanes vs Florida Panthers Prediction: Fatigue Will Not Allow to Score More Than 1 Goal

In November, Carolina lost to Florida away with a score of 0:2. Will the Hurricanes be able to take revenge from the Panthers for that defeat?

When the Hurricanes' main goalkeeper Frederik Andersen dropped out due to injury, stable results from Carolina should not have been expected. However, everything turned out differently – Antti Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov were doing their job perfectly. By the middle of the regular season, Carolina had already reached second place in the summary table of the Eastern Conference. Only "Boston" is higher.

In the previous game, Carolina beat Chicago 3-0. Raanta scored the first shutout of the season, reflecting 24 shots. By the way, Pyotr Kochetkov has already had three dry matches in this championship.

After three consecutive defeats, the Panthers hosted Montreal on their ice and left no stone unturned for the Canadian team. 7:2 – Alexander Barkov scored a hat-trick, adding two assists to the goals. Matthew Tkachuk recorded the double. Sergei Bobrovsky has 25 deflected shots. In total, Florida now has 16 wins in 36 games. The Paul Maurice team is only 12th in the summary table of the Eastern Conference.

Florida will hold a back-to-back. And although the opponent in the first part of it was not the most serious, Montreal, it will not be much easier for the Panthers to meet with Carolina. The Hurricanes are performing well in this championship. They miss very little and almost do not lose in regular time. The Panthers, with Spencer Knight in goal, will also miss a little in the upcoming game, but due to fatigue, they won't be able to count on more than one point.
