The Dallas Stars snapped their six-game Game 1 home losing run on Wednesday. Is it the Carolina Hurricanes’ turn now to halt a similar losing streak in tonight’s Game 2 against the Florida Panthers at Lenovo Center (8 p.m. ET, TNT)?
Our Panthers vs. Hurricanes prediction and NHL picks examine whether Carolina will win its first Eastern Conference Final game in 14 tries. They are the favorites to do exactly that at our best sports betting sites.  
🔎 Our NEW NHL player prop odds tool can help you find the best NHL odds across legal sportsbooks in your area!

✅ Against the spread pick: Panthers +1.5 (-245 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐
✅ Moneyline pick: Hurricanes (-128 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
✅ Over/Under pick: Under 5.5 goals (-115 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐
🎯 Score prediction: Hurricanes 3, Panthers 2 
Imagine being a Hurricanes fan, seeing your team advance to four conference finals over 15 years only to get swept three times.
While being a Toronto Maple Leafs fan is still exponentially more gut-wrenching, take nothing away from the palpable close-but-no-cigar despair permeating the Raleigh air.
Head coach Brind’Amour was the last Hurricane to score a game-winner in an Eastern Conference Final. That was 19 years ago in Game 7 against Buffalo. 
The 13-game losing streak must end, and it makes sense for it to happen at Lenovo Center, where they’ve won five of six playoff games and were one of the best during the regular season.
They’ll be agitated about losing the opener despite winning the expected goals battle 3.73 to 2.2 and carrying the play for an extended period, including a 15-minute stretch in which Florida didn’t muster a single shot. 
In quintessential Murphy’s Law fashion, Sam Bennett scored on the first shot to end the barren patch. Frederik Andersen endured a rare off game, but he’ll be ready for Game 2. Sergei Bobrovsky is on top form, so I expect a low-scoring Hurricanes victory. 
✅ Best bet: Panthers ML (-128 via FanDuel)
