BetMGM $10,000 Hat Trick Jackpot picks, goal-scorer props, NHL odds for Panthers vs. Hurricanes Game 2

The 2025 NHL Eastern Conference finals continue on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET when the Carolina Hurricanes host the Florida Panthers at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh. The Panthers, who won last year’s Stanley Cup final, notched a 5-2 victory in Game 1 behind a strong performance from Conn Smythe Trophy contender Sergei Bobrovsky in net. Sam Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe both scored goals for the Panthers in the win. The Hurricanes are -130 favorites (risk $130 to $100) on the money-line in the latest Panthers vs. Hurricanes odds for Game 2, while the over/under for total goals scored is 5.5.

SportsLine expert handicapper Jimmie Kaylor has broken down the NHL odds and locked in three anytime goal scorer prop bets for Hurricanes vs. Panthers Game 2 on Thursday. He has identified three anytime goal scorer prop bets for Game 2 to take advantage of BetMGM’s Hat Trick Jackpot promotion. All three picks come with potential plus-money payouts. New users can also take advantage of the BetMGM promo code offering up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their first bet loses.

BetMGM is offering users an extra chance to cash in during every game throughout the NHL playoffs with their Hat Trick Jackpot promotion. Users have to opt in to the Hat Trick Jackpot promotion, then place a $10+ anytime goal scorer wager (up to one eligible bet per game). If that player scores 3+ goals during that game, users will win a share of $10,000 in Bonus Bets. In addition, you can check out our Panthers vs. Hurricanes Game 2 picks and Panthers vs. Hurricanes Game 2 prop bets. 

Kaylor has been profitable as a handicapper across multiple sports since joining SportsLine, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his online sports betting picks.

Here are his top three anytime goal scorer picks for Game 2:

• Sam Bennett (+290)
• Carter Verhaeghe (+300)
• Andrei Svechnikov (+220)

Sam Bennett anytime goal scorer (+290)

Hat tricks in the playoffs are rare, but not impossible. Stars winger Mikko Rantanen recorded hat tricks in back-to-back games this year, and I believe Bennett is the most likely to accomplish the feat on Thursday. Bennett leads the Panthers with seven goals during the postseason, and he scored one powerplay goal in Game 1. 

Carter Verhaeghe anytime goal scorer (+300)

Verhaeghe had a goal and an assist in Game 1, and the 29-year-old center has played at a very high level throughout the 2025 playoffs. Verhaeghe has five total goals and has recorded 31 shots on goal during the postseason. The odds should be longer here in my opinion, but Verhaeghe is still a legitimate threat to score in every game he plays.

Andrei Svechnikov anytime goal scorer (+220)

Svechnikov is a true sniper, and leads Carolina with eight goals during the playoffs. The 25-year-old has immense talent and was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. Florida is an elite defensive team, but of all the players on the Carolina roster, Svechnikov is the player I believe has the best chance to record a hat trick in Game 2.
