Carolina: form and statistics

Last season, Carolina can definitely add to its assets. The team had no difficulties in the regular season, and two rounds went through in the playoffs at once. The Hurricanes' first opponent was New Jersey, which managed to close the series in the fifth game (4:1). Washington came next, which also did not last more than five meetings (4:1). However, in the Eastern Conference finals, Carolina itself lost to Florida with a score of 1:4.

Tampa Bay: form and statistics

But Tampa Bay cannot consider the last Stanley Cup draw a success. The team performed well in the regular season, finishing third in the Eastern Conference. However, this achievement played a cruel joke with the Lightning – they met with Florida in the first round of the playoffs. The series ended with a 1:4 defeat to the Lightning, and the team crashed out of the cup battles too quickly.

Carolina vs Tampa Bay match prediction 23 September 2025

It's not for nothing that experts of betting companies consider Carolina to be the favorite in this pair. It's clear that the lineups in the first games of the preseason are suboptimal, as mentors often watch hockey players from AHL farm clubs and youth leagues. However, the Hurricanes were lucky to start the preseason at home in Raleigh, and here they traditionally play great hockey. We think that in the first game after the break they will be able to please the fans – we take the final victory of the ice masters.

Our main prediction: is Team 1 To Win for a coefficient of 1.72 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
