Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers Prediction & Picks, November 10, 2026

The Florida Panthers have been doing really well lately, winning seven out of their last ten games. They've also been tough on defense, blocking a solid number of shots and delivering a lot of hits, showing they're ready to battle. This kind of play can make a big difference in tight matchups. The Columbus Blue Jackets will be playing at home, but that doesn't guarantee them an easy win. With both teams being so close in strength, there's a real chance this game could go either way. Still, I believe the Panthers' current form gives them a good shot to come out on top.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers: Florida Panthers +2.5 Puck Lines (-588)

The Florida Panthers have a lot of fresh faces on their team this season, with many players still trying to find their footing in the NHL. That makes their performance a bit harder to predict, especially since 14 of them have not even played ten games yet. But when they hit the ice, they bring a strong offense that can surprise opponents like the Columbus Blue Jackets. Betting on the Panthers to cover the puck line at +2.5 seems smart here. They are rated as a strong favorite, and while they might struggle to find their best form, they have enough talent to stay competitive. One concern is that the Blue Jackets will be playing at home, where they often find some extra energy. Still, I think the Panthers can keep it close and cover this spread.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers: Brady Tkachuk Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+112)

The odds on Brady Tkachuk's shots on goal are looking pretty appealing at over 3.5. The Florida Panthers have been on a roll lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games, which means their offense is clicking. Tkachuk is likely to get plenty of chances with the way the Panthers tend to create scoring opportunities. However, the matchup is quite close, and the Blue Jackets will be playing at home, which can make a difference. Even so, Tkachuk's ability to find the puck and get shots off is solid, and he often contributes to the team's efforts. With the Panthers blocking fewer shots than the league average, he might have the space he needs to hit that mark.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers: Sam Bennett Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+144)

Sam Bennett has been playing well lately, and the Florida Panthers have been on a hot streak, winning 7 of their last 10 games. This form should help Bennett get plenty of chances to shoot, especially since the Panthers have been aggressive, averaging over 32 hits a game. That kind of pressure often leads to more opportunities for players to take shots. For this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, betting on Bennett to have over 2.5 shots on goal seems like a solid choice. The odds are decent at +144, but it's worth noting that this matchup is quite close, meaning it could go either way. If Bennett gets his chances, he has a good shot at hitting that mark.
