Panthers forward Anthony Duclair has been all over the ice in the offensive zone against the Hurricanes.

Duclair has been the most dangerous Panthers forward at 5-on-5 with the team lead in shot attempts (19), scoring chances (12), and high-danger chances (nine) in this series, resulting in 1.67 individual expected goals, per Natural Stat Trick.

Duclair gets the benefit of playing on Florida's top line with Carter Verhaeghe and Aleksander Barkov, as well as the second power-play unit.

Hurricanes vs. Panthers odds analysis

The Panthers are down to between -110 (BetMGM) and -120 (DraftKings) after opening at -125 at our best sports betting apps. Money is coming in on a desperate Hurricanes team that has moved from +105 at open to between even money (DraftKings) and -110 (BetMGM).

After two low-scoring games, the total is once again at 5.5 with the Over and Under both around -110. The Over is drawing a slight majority of the betting action.
