Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers head-to-head record
The Florida Panthers, who have defeated the Carolina Hurricanes four times in their last five encounters, are clearly in the lead going into Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Most notably, the Panthers took a 1-0 series lead after dominating in their most recent game, winning 5-2 on May 21, 2025. In these five meetings, Florida's offense has been outstanding, scoring five goals or more in four of them, including a decisive 6-0 victory on December 1, 2024. Carolina's only victory occurred in a more defensive 3-1 showing on January 3, 2025. Unless the Hurricanes are able to tighten up defensively and take advantage of their faceoff and power play advantages, the Panthers' strong scoring and recent confidence versus Carolina might give them the advantage again in Game 2.
