Red Wings vs. Panthers Prediction, Odds, Lines and Picks - December 8, 2022 | NHL Regular Season
The Detroit Red Wings head to Miami to take on the Florida Panthers in a divisional matchup.
Despite their better standing and short winning streak, the Red Wings are a heavy underdog in this one. Detroit is playing teams tough with 13 wins and five overtime losses.
Florida is one win and three points behind Detroit in the standings; they could really close that gap with a win tonight. It appeared the Panthers were starting a winning streak, but they were routed by Winnipeg last time out.
It's been a tough start to the season for Florida, as their scoring is nowhere close to where it was last season.

Red Wings vs. Panthers Best Picks
Matthew Tkachuk has been incredible for Florida so far this season. He has an assist in nearly every game he has played in and half as many goals. That's 35 points through 24 games.
Florida will need Tkachuk to continue playing like this if they want to move further in the standings.
At this point in the season, all value has been lost on Tkachuk's assist prop as it currently sits at (-164) for over 0.5 assists, but value can still be found in his goal-scoring prop.
The over is a solid play in this game, and if there are going to be plenty of goals, Tkachuk should be able to put at least one in the net.
Matthew Tkachuk Over 0.5 Goals (+132)
Red Wings vs. Panthers Prediction
While it is still unclear who will be in the net for both teams, the Detroit puck line looks like a solid play. However, if Nedeljkovic receives the call instead of Husso, my opinion on that will flip.
So, for now, I would simply recommend the over. Both teams have a lot of firepower and can easily score 4+ goals. Of course, the keepers playing today can affect that number a little, but one of these teams should be able the carry the weight to cash the over.
Over 6.5 Goals (-105)
