Pittsburgh Penguins vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Picks & Odds | 23 Mar 2025

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Florida Panthers Prediction & Picks

Game Prediction

The teams could fail to light the lamp multiple times in this NHL game and that leads us to backing the -141 when it comes to going under the total goals line.

A great deal of research goes into our NHL predictions. We start by studying the latest form and getting a handle on injuries. The key player and goalie stats can then be used as the missing piece of the jigsaw.

Key Penguins vs Panthers stats:

• The 6.5 line hasn’t been covered in 9 of the last 10 Penguins games on the road.
• The 6.5 line hasn’t been covered in 4 of the last 5 Penguins games on the road.
• The 6.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 3 Penguins games on the road this season.
• The 6.5 line hasn’t been covered in 9 of the last 10 Panthers games.
• The 6.5 line hasn’t been covered in 16 of the last 20 Panthers games.
• The 6.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 4 Panthers games at home this season.

Under 6.5 Probability

The sportsbooks make it a 58.5% chance that our pick is settled as a winner. However, our analysts research has found that the actual probability is between 65-70%. This hockey wager can therefore be backed with confidence.

If you’re wanting to go Under a certain number of goals but fancy bigger odds, a bet on Match Winner & Total Goals could be a good option. You need the two combinations to work in your favor.
