Florida

Florida has been excellent this season. The team had a mediocre season, getting the wild card in the East at the last minute. Nevertheless, they managed to destroy powerful Boston in the first round of the playoffs, winning back-to-back 3-1 in the series (4-3). Toronto was next, and the Panthers had no trouble with a 4-1 series win. Paul Maurice's team got Carolina into the East finals and picked up two wins in Raleigh. They followed that up with a 1-0 home victory, so the series is now 3-0 in favor of Florida. Now they are one step away from the Stanley Cup finals.

Carolina

Carolina, unlike its opponent, shined in the regular season. The Hurricanes were in no doubt and finished second in the Eastern Conference standings. So in the first round of the playoffs, the team fought the Islanders and handled them confidently (4-2). The conference semifinal against New Jersey was even easier, 4-1. Carolina had enormous problems against Florida, which has gained tremendous form. Their first two home meetings went into overtime, and they failed both. The next was an away loss, which reduced the team's chances of success in the series to almost zero.

Expect Betting Tips

• Florida has won the past four games.
• The seven previous meetings with Florida didn't end with the TO (5.5).

Florida is hardly going to be bothered to play extra games against Carolina. Now everything is in the hands of the Panthers - they need their fourth win and start preparing for the final. The Hurricanes can lose heart at this point - they can do nothing against their formidable opponent's defense and Sergei Bobrovsky. With the fans' support at the FLA Live Arena, the home team has to finish the series.
