The Detroit Red Wings (14-23-6) play the second half of a two-game set with the Carolina Hurricanes (27-9-4) Monday with a 7 p.m. ET puck drop at PNC Arena. Below, we analyze the Red Wings-Hurricanes odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.
The Red Wings picked up a 5-4 shootout victory Saturday and cashed as heavy underdogs at nearly 3-to-1. Detroit picked up at least one point in four of its past six games and hasn’t been a pushover lately, even for the top teams in the NHL.
The Hurricanes were dumped on home ice by the Red Wings after a two-game sweep of the visiting Florida Panthers. They also have two shutouts in their past four outings, one from Alex Nedeljkovic and one from Petr Mrazek.

Red Wings at Hurricanes: Projected starting goalies
Thomas Greiss (4-15-6, 3.17 GAA, .897 SV%) vs. Petr Mrazek (4-1-1, 1.47 GAA, .943 SV%, 3 SO)
Greiss wasn’t terribly sharp in the shootout against the Hurricanes, but he deserved the win. Detroit has provided very little offensive support for him plenty of times where he has been on top of his game and he took an undeserved loss.
Mrazek had his worst outing of the season against his former organization Saturday. He had picked up three shutouts in his first six outings of the 2021 campaign before Saturday’s offensive barrage by the Red Wings.

Red Wings at Hurricanes: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Hurricanes 4, Red Wings 2
Money line (ML)
The Hurricanes (-375) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s rather expensive considering the Red Wings just pulled the upset Saturday. Let that be a cautionary tale.
PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)
The HURRICANES -1.5 (-140) will still cost you some juice laying the goal and a half, but it’s not nearly as risky as just playing the money line straight up. Carolina won by three goals in each of its last two victories.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 5.5 (-105) is the lean there. The Over has edged the Under 5-4 in the past nine games for the Hurricanes, including an Over result Saturday.
The Over is 3-0-1 in the previous four games for the Red Wings, too, and they coughed up 11 goals in their past two outings.
