But since Sam Reinhart&#8217;s status is up in the air moving forward, there is a gap to fill on Florida&#8217;s offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the third line, including Marchand, has been great all postseason. The former Boston Bruin scored in Reinhart&#8217;s first game out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s 10-5 against this line in the playoffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Marchand is an excellent postseason performer. He has 151 points in 172 career playoff games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marchand has 12 even-strength points in these playoffs and should continue contributing in a consistently high-scoring offence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hurricanes vs. Panthers prop picks made at 9:31 a.m. ET 05\/26\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Carolina Hurricanes need to win on Monday to avoid being eliminated by the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference final.
