Panthers Top Islanders At Home
Florida’s most recent game was a 4–1 win over the New York Islanders on December 7, where Carter Verhaeghe scored for the sixth time in as many games and Seth Jones added his second goal in consecutive outings. The Panthers controlled the pace throughout, finishing off a three‑game homestand with five points and showing signs of stabilizing after a rocky stretch. Sam Reinhart chipped in an empty‑netter, and Uvis Balinskis scored his first of the season, giving Florida a boost from its depth players.
Offensively, Florida has been steady, averaging 3.1 goals per game (11th) while firing 29.5 shots per game (8th). Their power play sits at 19.0% (15th), with Brad Marchand and Reinhart leading the attack. Verhaeghe’s hot streak has been crucial, and his chemistry with Jeff Petry and Anton Lundell has given the Panthers multiple scoring options. Florida’s faceoff numbers are weaker (47.3%, 26th), but their ability to generate offense from transition play has compensated.
Defensively, the Panthers allow 3.2 goals per game (21st) but limit opponents to 26.3 shots per game (7th). Sergei Bobrovsky has carried the load in net, and while his save percentage has dipped, the team’s structure has kept them competitive. Their penalty kill sits at 80.4% (20th), and discipline remains an issue with 302 penalty minutes (4th most). Against Utah’s opportunistic forwards, staying out of the box will be key if Florida wants to extend its winning streak.
Mammoth Bows To the Kings
Utah’s most recent game was a 4–2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on December 8, where Joel Armia scored twice and Adrian Kempe added a goal and assist to sink the Mammoth. Clayton Keller and Dylan Guenther provided Utah’s goals, but the Kings struck early and added insurance late, handing Utah its third loss in four games. Despite out‑hitting Los Angeles and winning nearly 60% of faceoffs, the Mammoth couldn’t generate enough sustained offense.
Offensively, Utah averages 3.0 goals per game (15th) while putting up 28.4 shots per game (15th). Keller leads the way with 28 points, while Nick Schmaltz and JJ Peterka have been steady contributors. Their power play has lagged at 15.1% (28th), a weakness that has cost them in close games. Logan Cooley’s absence due to injury has been felt, but Guenther’s emergence has helped keep the attack afloat.
Defensively, Utah has been strong, allowing 2.9 goals per game (13th) and ranking 2nd in shots against (24.7 per game). Karel Vejmelka has been inconsistent but recorded two shutouts this season, and the penalty kill has been reliable at 82.4% (9th). Discipline is still a concern with 288 penalty minutes (9th most), but their physical style has kept opponents uncomfortable. Against Florida’s balanced scoring, Utah will lean on Keller and Schmaltz to drive offense while relying on their defensive structure to slow down the Panthers’ attack.

Florida Panthers vs Utah Mammoth Pick
Panthers vs Mammoth Moneyline Pick
- Florida -112 (5 Units)
Florida looks like the stronger side to back here, especially with how they’ve been playing lately. Their most recent outing was a 4–1 win over the Islanders on December 7, where Carter Verhaeghe scored for the sixth straight game and Seth Jones added another tally in back‑to‑back nights. The Panthers controlled the pace throughout, finishing off a three‑game homestand with five points and showing signs of stabilizing after a rough stretch. With Sam Reinhart and Uvis Balinskis also finding the net, Florida got contributions from both its stars and depth players, which is exactly the kind of balance they’ll need against Utah’s stingy defense.
Utah, meanwhile, is coming off a 4–2 loss to the Kings on December 8, their third defeat in four games, and their offense continues to be inconsistent. Clayton Keller and Dylan Guenther provided the goals, but the Mammoth’s power play remains near the bottom of the league (15.1%, 28th) and they’ve struggled to generate sustained pressure despite ranking 15th in shots per game. Florida’s attack, averaging 3.1 goals per game (11th) with a top‑15 power play, matches up well against Utah’s tendency to take penalties (288 minutes, 9th most). With Verhaeghe red‑hot and Reinhart steady on special teams, Florida’s scoring depth and ability to capitalize on mistakes give them the edge in this matchup.
Panthers vs Mammoth Over/Under Pick
- Under 6 (4 Units)
The Under 6 looks like the right lean in Panthers–Mammoth given how both teams match up. Florida’s most recent outing was a 4–1 win over the Islanders on December 7, where Carter Verhaeghe stayed hot with another goal and Sergei Bobrovsky turned aside 27 shots to secure the victory. The Panthers average 3.1 goals per game but also allow 3.2 (21st), and their style often keeps games tight with limited shot volume against (26.3 per game, 7th). Utah, meanwhile, just dropped a 4–2 game to the Kings on December 8, and while they average 3.0 goals per game, their defense has been one of the league’s best, ranking 2nd in shots allowed (24.7 per game) and holding opponents to 2.9 goals (13th). With both teams leaning on structured play and neither boasting elite finishing on the power play, this matchup sets up as a grind that favors the Under 6.
