BET99 believes tonight's matchup in Sunrise between the Vancouver Canucks and Florida Panthers will be a low scoring with the total set at below six goals for the first time since 2016. This is a huge opportunity to cash on -115 odds for OVER 5.5 goals, considering these two have gone OVER 6.5 goals three times in their last five games in Sunrise.

Canucks vs Panthers Picks Tonight
OVER 5.5 Goals (-115)
Again, the total hasn't gone below six goals when the Panthers welcome the Canucks to Sunrise since 2016 with the OVER hitting 60% of the time. Both teams are high-scoring sides with Florida averaging 3.24 goals per game since 23-24 (14th in the league) and Vancouver averaging 3.38 (ranked eighth).
The Panthers already have a strong record against the OVER in this young season going 4-1 (80%). I get that Barkov is out for this game and that Mathew Tkachuk will miss due to illness, but the Panthers are getting plenty of offense from other sources. Anton Lundell, Sam Bennett, and Sam Reinhart have combined for 10 goals through five games and Carter Verhaeghe has created 1.22 ixG. OVER 2.5 goals for the Panthers is set at -160.
With Barkov and Tkachuk out, Lundell has stepped up the depth chart and has responded with four points in his last three games. BET99 has him at -105 for OVER 0.5 points.
Vancouver's combination of bad defense and underrated offense makes it easier to bet on the OVER tonight. Since 2023, the Canucks have seen the total go OVER 60% (24-16-2 record) on the road, which is the fourth-highest rate in the NHL, without Thatcher Demko they've allowed an average of 4.3 goals per game this year, and they've got shooters like Miller, Boeser, Hoglander than can convert shots to goals at an absurd 20%.
Canucks vs Panthers Prop Bet: Connor Garland OVER 0.5 Points (+110)
Connor Garland is on a three-game point streak after netting a goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning two nights ago. Garland is responding well to increased responsibility with a career-high 18:28 average ice time this year.
Outlier shows that Garland has scored at least one point in four of his last five games for the Canucks. That demonstrates his hot start isn't just a flash in the pan but production that can keep on going.
