• Read below for Panthers vs Stars prediction, odds and player prop for Friday

The 2024 NHL Global Series continues with a marquee matchup between the Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars in Finland. Puck drop at Nokia Arena is set for 2:00 PM EST, with NHL Network broadcasting the game nationally.

The Friday NHL odds have the Panthers and Stars in a pick’em, with both teams at -110 on the moneyline. These two clubs are off to strong starts and looking to make an early statement in this international clash.

Here is our Panthers vs Stars prediction, along with NHL betting odds and picks.

Panthers vs Stars Prediction

This has all the makings of a tight, evenly-matched contest between two of the NHL’s top teams in the early going. However, we give a slight edge to the Stars playing on their pseudo-home ice in Finland.

Dallas has won seven of its first nine games and ranks first in the league in goals against (1.89 per game). Goaltender Jake Oettinger has been stellar, posting a .938 save percentage and 1.84 goals against average. He should be able to limit a high-powered Panthers offense.

The Stars also have some offensive firepower of their own. Matt Duchene leads the team with six goals and 11 points, while Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson are always a threat to find the back of the net. Look for the Stars’ top guns to solve Sergei Bobrovsky.

While the Panthers have won three straight and sit atop the Atlantic Division, their underlying numbers aren’t quite as impressive as Dallas. They rank 15th in goals against and have a goal differential of just plus-three through 11 games.

We expect the Stars to grind out a close victory on the strength of their stingy defense and timely scoring. Back Dallas on the moneyline in what should be a playoff-type atmosphere in Finland.

Panthers vs Stars Odds

The Panthers vs Stars odds are about as tight as can be, with both teams listed at -110 on the moneyline at ESPN Sportsbook. This suggests the oddsmakers view this Global Series clash as a true toss-up.

On the puck line, Florida is favored at -1.5 (+210), meaning they would need to win by two or more goals to cash that bet. Dallas, meanwhile, is +1.5 (-300), so they could lose by a goal and still cover the spread.

The total goals over/under is set at 5.5, with the over juiced to -130 and the under coming back at +110. Keep in mind that the last seven meetings between these teams have seen at least six goals scored.

Panthers vs Stars Player Props

For those looking to get in on the action, we’ve identified one Panthers vs Stars player prop that catches our eye:

• Carter Verhaeghe Anytime Goal Scorer (+155)

Verhaeghe has been one of Florida’s best offensive players through the first month of the season. The 27-year-old winger leads the team with a whopping 46 shots on goal and is producing at nearly a point-per-game pace.

While Verhaeghe has only registered two goals, they’ve both come over the past three games. The talented forward has registered 4.4 expected goals so far with a very low 4.44% shooting percentage, so he’s bound to start converting on more of these chances.

At +155 odds, we like the value on Verhaeghe to stay hot and find the back of the net against the Stars. He’s scored in four of the last five meetings with Dallas, so back him to keep that success going in Finland.
