The Florida Panthers, two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, host the Philadelphia Flyers. The Panthers are heavy favorites due to recent dominance, star power, and defensive health, while the Flyers come in as underdogs, struggling for consistency and facing a major talent gap.
Key Factors to Consider
Panthers have demonstrated elite form, winning back-to-back Cups and opening as one of the Stanley Cup favorites again[2]. Flyers are a +10000 longshot for the Cup, reflecting their rebuild status and lower roster quality[2].

No major injuries reported for the Panthers' core. Flyers' injury status unclear, but historically, their depth has been a vulnerability compared to Florida's roster.
Panther home crowd, rested core, and championship momentum are significant edges. Flyers on the road, facing a hostile environment, with lower media and betting expectations.
Panthers motivated to start their three-peat campaign strong. Flyers in rebuild, likely focused on development over short-term results.
