NHL Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Devils vs. Hurricanes
The Devils have cooled off after their incredible start to the season as they just dropped their fifth straight game to the Panthers on Saturday night. The Hurricanes have been playing well and Sunday’s 3-2 victory over the Penguins moved them into a first-place tie with New Jersey at 44 points each. That means the winner of tonight’s game leaves with sole possession of first place in the Metro. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. from PNC Arena in Raleigh.
I’m locking in the Hurricanes on the puck line tonight. They’re playing excellent hockey right now, having gone 9-0-1 in their last ten games and picking up points in their last 11 contests. I think this is a great time to lay 1.5 goals considering how bad the Devils have been over the last two weeks. During their five-game skid, they’re allowing 4.0 goals per game while scoring just 2.2. The bottom line here is that Carolina is much more polished and more physical than New Jersey. Add on their home-ice advantage and I think we have a great shot to cash this puck line wager.
Bet: Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 (+190)
