<p>The NHL regular season concludes for two teams when the Carolina Hurricanes (51-21-9, 23-11-6 away) visit the Florida Panthers (42-31-8, 23-12-5 home). There are some things to play for in this one as Carolina is just one-point ahead of the Devils in the Metropolitan Division and Florida will hope to avoid the Boston Bruins in the first round with a win and some help. Below is my <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/nhl/"><strong>NHL pick</strong></a> for the Hurricanes vs Panthers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-carolina-hurricanes-vs-florida-panthers-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Carolina Hurricanes vs Florida Panthers Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Florida Panthers -115 @ <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports/"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a></p>



<p>This game will be played at FLA Live Arena at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 13, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-florida-panthers"><a></a>Why Bet the Florida Panthers:</h2>



<p>✅ Florida is getting hot at the right time as they have won six of their last seven games played.</p>



<p>✅ The Panthers have been solid against the Metropolitan Division, winning five of their last seven games against the other Eastern Conference division.</p>



<p>✅ Carolina is sputtering to the finish line as they have lost three of their last four games played.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-carolina-hurricanes-are-looking-to-win-the-division"><a></a>Carolina Hurricanes are Looking to Win the Division</h2>



<p>Carolina finally got back to their winning ways with a needed 4-1 home win over the Detroit Red Wings. Prior to that, the Hurricanes had a tough three-game road trip that saw them collect zero points over their four-day stretch. The Hurricanes will be fine and just need the playoffs to start to turn it on again.</p>



<p>Carolina is scoring just 3.16 goals per game and allows an impressive 2.53. Martin Necas has had a nice season as he leads the Hurricanes with 43 assists and 71 points. Sebastian Aho has scored a team leading 35 goals on the year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-florida-panthers-want-to-avoid-boston">The Florida Panthers Want to Avoid Boston</h2>



<p>Florida has been playing playoff games for a few weeks now and was bound for a letdown after finally clinching their spot in the playoffs. The Panthers hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs and were beaten 2-1 in overtime, but Panthers fans won’t care as they are heading back to the big show. Florida games have a lot of goals as they average 3.51 goals per game and allow 3.28. Matthew Tkachuk is having a great first season in Florida as he leads the team with 68 assists and 108 points. Carter Verhaeghe has scored a team high 41 goals on the year.</p>
