Meanwhile, the defending Stanley Cup champs are aiming to reach the final for a third consecutive season.

Carolina’s Andrei Svechnikov and Florida’s Sam Bennett are two players to keep an eye on in the prop market for Game 1. Svechnikov has been on a tear lately, while Bennett’s shot production warrants a closer look.

Panthers vs Hurricanes Prop Bet #1: Andrei Svechnikov Anytime Goal Scorer

• Andrei Svechnikov Anytime Goal Scorer (+215)

Svechnikov has been on an absolute tear this postseason, ranking second in the league with eight playoff goals. He’s found the back of the net in three consecutive games entering this series and has a track record of elevating his play in crucial moments.

The Russian sniper missed the 2023 playoff series against Florida due to injury, so he’ll be extra motivated to make his mark this time around. Svechnikov scored the series-clinching goal against the Capitals and has been remarkably efficient lately, converting one out of every three shots into a goal. At +215 odds, he’s a great value pick to score tonight.

CAR vs FLA Prop Pick #2: Andrei Svechnikov Over 2.5 Shots

• Andrei Svechnikov Over 2.5 Shots (-135)

Not only is Svechnikov filling the net, but he’s also been a shot machine. The Hurricanes’ top winger is averaging exactly three shots per game over his last five outings, hitting the over on 2.5 shots in 60% of those contests. His last three shot totals? 3, 3, and 3.

Svechnikov is prominently featured on Carolina’s top power-play unit alongside Sebastian Aho and is averaging over three minutes of ice time with the man advantage. He had 10 power-play goals during the regular season and 18 total power-play points. Expect Rod Brind’Amour to lean heavily on Svechnikov in Game 1.

Florida vs Carolina Player Prop #3: Sam Bennett Under 2.5 Shots

• Sam Bennett Under 2.5 Shots (-130)

On the flip side, I’m fading Sam Bennett’s shot production to open the series. The Panthers’ second-line center has gone under 2.5 shots in nine of his last 16 games overall and has recorded two or fewer shots in five of his last seven playoff contests.

Bennett also has a tendency to shoot less in Game 1s – he managed two or fewer shots in two of his past three series openers. As a physical, second-line player who also kills penalties, his role is more geared towards hits than shots early in series. Look for him to stay under 2.5 shots once again tonight.
