The Florida Panthers are one game away from punching their ticket to the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, and one hopes they'll be able to carry the momentum all the way to a championship. After winning Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final on Friday to take a 3-0 series lead, the Panthers will host the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 4 on Monday at 8 p.m. ET.

Now, here are Kaylor's four picks in his NHL SGP for Panthers vs. Hurricanes on Monday:

Florida Panthers money line (-185)

The was never a good matchup for the Hurricanes, and the Panthers are the defending Stanley Cup champions for a reason. The Panthers are playing outstanding hockey in both zones, and Sergei Bobrovsky gives them an edge in net. Florida was my pick to come out of the Eastern Conference when the NHL Playoffs opened, and I expect the Panthers to close the series out and punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final on Monday.

Sam Bennett 3+ shots on goal (-150)

Bennett tallied three shots on goal in Game 3, and has 10 shots on goal for the series. The 28-year-old center leads the Panthers in both points and shots on goal during the postseason. This is a spot where I expect Bennett to be aggressive in trying to close out the series.

Sam Bennett anytime goal scorer (+210)

Bennett recorded one assists and no goals in Game 3, but he scored two goals in Game 2 and one goal in Game 1. The Panthers are balanced and deep, so I expect there to be ample opportunity for multiple players to score. When it comes down to it, Bennett has been the team's top offensive player during the postseason, and I expect him to excel in Game 4.

Andrei Svechnikov 3+ shots on goal (+110)

The Hurricanes will be in desperation mode in Game 4, so I expect to see them have a little extra aggressiveness in the offensive zone on Monday. Svechnikov leads Carolina with eight goals and 36 shots on goal during the postseason. Bobrovsky is arguably the top goalie still playing, and his ability will open the door for more shot attempts for Svechnikov and the rest of the Hurricanes.
