The Carolina Hurricanes are still breathing after their Game 4 shutout victory, but they’ll need another herculean effort Wednesday night at Lenovo Center to keep their season alive against the defending champion Florida Panthers.
Frederik Andersen’s 20-save shutout and timely goals from Logan Stankoven, Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal helped Carolina snap a 15-game Eastern Conference Final losing streak. Now the Hurricanes return home, where they’ve won five consecutive playoff games at PNC Arena.

Panthers vs Hurricanes Same-Game Parlay Pick #1: Hurricanes +1.5
The Hurricanes +1.5 represents tremendous value as the foundation for our parlay. Carolina boasts an exceptional 36-9-1 home record this season, including five consecutive playoff wins at PNC Arena. Their home ATS record stands at 28-18, including 4-1 in these playoffs.
Our model strongly favors the Hurricanes to cover, giving them an 80-90% chance to stay within a goal. Despite trailing 3-1 in the series, Carolina has actually controlled play at five-on-five throughout, dominating Game 4 with an 81% expected goals rate at even strength.
Teams facing elimination often elevate their play, especially at home. With Andersen returning to form and the Canes successfully neutralizing Florida’s power play in Game 4, this line offers excellent insurance even if Carolina falls short.
Florida vs Carolina Same-Game Parlay Pick #2: Bennett Anytime Goal
Sam Bennett has been on fire this postseason with nine goals in 15 games, leading the Panthers in goals. He exploded for three goals in the first two games of this series, showcasing his ability to find the net against Carolina’s defense.
Bennett’s physical style creates chaos around the net, evidenced by his 22 hits in four games against Carolina. His net-front presence was particularly effective in Game 2, where he scored twice, including a deflection goal.
Sam Bennett Carolina Series Log
After being held scoreless in the last two games, Bennett and his linemates Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe are due for a bounce-back performance. It’s rare to see this trio held off the scoresheet in multiple consecutive playoff games.
With a career-best regular season (25 goals, 51 points) carrying into the playoffs, Bennett’s confidence remains high. His proven ability to score against Carolina in Raleigh makes him excellent value at +240.
Panthers vs Hurricanes SGP Pick #3: Bobrovsky Over 24.5 Saves
Bobrovsky has been stellar throughout the playoffs with a .914 save percentage, and he’s hit the over on 24.5 saves in two of four games against Carolina. The Hurricanes have registered at least 25 shots in three of four contests, showing consistent offensive pressure.
The desperation factor cannot be overlooked – this is an elimination game for Carolina. Teams facing elimination typically increase their shot volume and offensive aggression, especially on home ice. After being limited to just 17 shots in Game 2, Carolina bounced back with 25 and 26 shots in Games 3 and 4.
Sergei Bobrovsky Carolina Series Log
Carolina averages 31.8 shots per game in these playoffs, the second-most among all teams. When goalies are in Bobrovsky’s form (eight straight starts allowing two goals or fewer), teams often trust them to handle higher shot volumes.
The combination of Carolina’s desperation, their shot generation ability, and the 50% hit rate in this series makes the over 24.5 saves a strong play.
