The Hurricanes were tripped up 3-2 in overtime by the Florida Panthers Thursday in a game with a playoff-like atmosphere. G Frederik Andersen and the ‘Canes rebounded and topped the Nashville Predators 5-3 Friday.

The Penguins are licking their wounds after a 4-1 beatdown at the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday. That loss snapped a four-game win streak which saw the Pens outscore the opposition 15-8.

Hurricanes at Penguins projected goalies

Andersen had lost three of his first four starts coming out of the All-Star break, but he was able to post 28 saves in a 5-3 win against Nashville Thursday to get back on track.

Jarry allowed 4 goals on 29 shots in a 4-1 loss at Toronto Thursday, his first loss in three starts after the All-Star break. He is 2-1-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .912 SV% across four February starts.

Hurricanes at Penguins odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Penguins 3, Hurricanes 2

Money line

The PENGUINS (-130) will protect home ice in this matinee game, but it won’t be easy against one of the NHL’s best teams. Pittsburgh has won 13 of the last 19 meetings at home against Carolina, while going 11-5 in the previous 16 in this series. Until the ‘Canes start to turn the tables, keep backing the Pens.

Against the spread

The Hurricanes +1.5 (-230) are just too expensive, costing you over two and a half times your return for a little insurance. Just play the Hurricanes straight up if you like them. However, I prefer the Pens in a close one.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (+110) is the best value on the board, as matinee games typically start a bit slow.

In addition, the Under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings between these two squads, including 6-1 in the past seven matchups in the Steel City.

Carolina Hurricanes at Toronto Maple Leafs odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Carolina Hurricanes at Toronto Maple Leafs odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Hurricanes (31-9-2) travel to meet the Toronto Maple Leafs (29-10-3) Monday at Scotiabank Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hurricanes vs. Maple Leafs odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Hurricanes posted four consecutive victories prior to the All-Star break as they outscored the competition by an 11-7 count. The Under has cashed in each of the previous three outings.

The Maple Leafs were on a five-game win streak before the break and they scored 6 or more goals in each of their final three games prior to the hiatus. Toronto will be looking for revenge after a 4-1 loss at Carolina in the first meeting this season Oct. 25.

Hurricanes at Maple Leafs projected goalies

Antti Raanta (6-2-1, 2.21 GAA, .914 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Petr Mrazek (5-2-0, 2.94 GAA, .902 SV%)

Raanta turned aside 24 of the 25 shots he faced in a 2-1 win Jan. 29 against the New Jersey Devils in his most recent start. It was his first action after a four-week absence due to an injury.

Raanta is giving All-Star Frederik Andersen a breather after he participated in the festivities in Las Vegas Friday and Saturday.

Mrazek is confirmed to star and give All-Star Jack Campbell extra time to return from Las Vegas and get situated. His most recent appearance was also against the Devils. He relieved Campbell in the first period and allowed 1 goal on 20 shots in 50-plus minutes of work.

Hurricanes at Maple Leafs odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Maple Leafs 4, Hurricanes 3

Money line

The MAPLE LEAFS (-135) are a decent play at this price, as it isn’t terribly out of line. The favorite has cashed in four of the past five games in this series, which favors the home side Monday.

The Leafs have cashed in 21 of their last 29 at home, too, and are a strong play to fire out of the chute after the All-Star break with a victory.

Against the spread

The Hurricanes +1.5 (-220) are a little on the pricey side if you’re looking for insurance and do not trust them straight up.

There is plenty of risk playing the Maple Leafs -1.5 (+165), too, as Toronto lost the first meeting 4-1.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-105) is a decent value at near even money with both teams rested and a pair of backup goaltenders in the crease.

The Over has also cashed in five straight against winning teams for the Hurricanes, while hitting in four of the last five meetings in this series.

The Over is 16-5-1 in the past 22 for the Leafs, too, while going 6-1-1 in the previous eight games at Scotiabank Arena.

Carolina Hurricanes at Detroit Red Wings odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Carolina Hurricanes at Detroit Red Wings NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Carolina Hurricanes (20-6-1) play the Detroit Red Wings (8-17-4) in the second game of a two-game set Tuesday. Puck drop will be at 7:30 p.m. ET at Little Caesars Arena. Below, we analyze the Hurricanes-Red Wings odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Odds, spread and lines

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:50 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Hurricanes -250 (bet $250 to win $100) | Red Wings +195 (bet $100 to win $195)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Hurricanes -1.5 (+115) | Red Wings +1.5 (-140)
  • Over/Under: 6 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

James Reimer (12-3-0, 2.71 GAA, .908 SV%) vs. Thomas Greiss (1-11-4, 3.41 GAA, .883 SV%)

Reimer has picked up four wins in a row since a 3-1 Hurricanes loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Feb. 25. He hasn’t yet faced the Red Wings this season, as he took a back seat to Alex Nedeljkovic in the front end of the back-to-back at LCA Sunday. Optimus Reim has allowed just five goals on 94 shots, good for a .947 SV%, over three games in March.

Greiss will be making his second appearance against the Hurricanes this season. He was the opening-night goalie, allowing two goals on 42 shots in a 3-0 setback Jan. 14. Greiss had his lone victory of the season Feb. 7 against the Florida Panthers; he is winless in his past six starts and seven appearances.

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hurricanes 5, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The Hurricanes (-250) are looking for their ninth consecutive victory, which is a rarity in Hartford Whalers/Hurricanes franchise history.

Still, as well as they have played, you cannot lay two and a half times your potential return. PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The HURRICANES -1.5 (+115) are a better value on the puck line, and they probably should have covered and won 2-0 Sunday; however, Wings W Anthony Mantha tipped one off of Hurricanes RW Sebastian Aho‘s skate with less than 10 seconds remaining to make it 2-1.

It was an unfortunate loss for puck-line bettors while spoiling Nedeljkovic’s shutout.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 6 (-105) is the lean, but go really, really lightly. The Hurricanes aren’t the problem, as they have piled up 30 goals during their eight-game win streak.

They are playing good defense, yielding just 15 goals during the span, and that’s the concern. Can Detroit score enough to help push this over the finish line? Again, go lightly.

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

James Reimer (12-3-0, 2.71 GAA, .908 SV%) vs. Thomas Greiss (1-11-4, 3.41 GAA, .883 SV%)

Reimer has rattled off wins in four consecutive starts since a 3-1 setback at Tampa Bay on Feb. 25. He has been much better lately, too, coughing up just five goals on 94 shots in the month of March for a .947 SV%. This will be his first start against the Red Wings this season.

Greiss hasn’t won since Feb. 7 in Florida, a span of six starts and seven appearances. He has made one appearance this season against the Canes, and he was sharp. He allowed just two goals on 42 shots in a 3-0 loss on Jan. 14 at LCA, but goaltender Petr Mrazek was just much better than evening.

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hurricanes 4, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The Hurricanes (-225) have been humming along lately, but risking more than two times your potential return on the road team is not a good wager. Remember, Carolina split a pair of games in Detroit earlier this season. PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The HURRICANES -1.5 (+120) have hit the puck line in four of the past five games, including a 5-2 victory over the Red Wings +1.5 (-145) at PNC Arena in Raleigh on March 4. Carolina has won seven in a row overall since Feb. 25.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 5.5 (-120) is the lean here. Yes, Reimer has been playing with a lot more confidence lately, but so has the Detroit offense.

They have rolled up a respectable 11 total goals in the past three outings while yielding 5.0 goals per game during the span. Look for another Over here.

Carolina Hurricanes at Detroit Red Wings odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Carolina Hurricanes at Detroit Red Wings NHL betting odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Carolina Hurricanes and Detroit Red Wings open their 2020-21 NHL regular season against each other Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. ET puck drop at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Below, we analyze the Hurricanes-Red Wings NHL betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Betting odds, spread and lines

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:31 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Hurricanes -225 (bet $225 to win $100) | Red Wings +185 (bet $100 to win $185)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Hurricanes -1.5 (+125) | Red Wings +1.5 (-155)
  • Over/Under: 6 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Petr Mrazek (21-16-2, 2.69 GAA, .905 SV%) at Thomas Greiss (16-9-4, 2.74 GAA, .913 SV%)

Mrazek is expected to get the first crack at the starting duties for head coach Rod Brind’Amour, and it will be special facing his original organization in the opener on the road, even if there are no fans in attendance. Mrazek picked up a pair of wins against the Red Wings last season, going 2-0-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .912 SV% in two starts, and he was 1-1-0 with a 2.05 GAA and .919 SV% in the prior season.

Greiss is expected to make his team debut, and he should be a good, steady veteran force in the crease for a young team going through a rebuild. While he was just 0-1-2 in three appearances against the Canes last season while a member of the New York Islanders, he has a respectable 2.59 GAA and .919 SV% in his three starts.

Hurricanes at Red Wings: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hurricanes 4, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The Hurricanes (-225) will cost you two times your potential return, which is rather risky on the road in the opener when we haven’t seen either side. Greiss is a nice add for the Red Wings (+185), and he will keep the home side in it to the end. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

If you going to bet on a winner, take the HURRICANES -1.5 (+125) at plus-money, rather than the more expensive money line play. The Red Wings shored up their crease with Greiss, but they still managed a league-low 145 goals with a terrible minus-122 goal differential. Until they prove they’re much better, keep fading them with the opponent on the puck line.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 6 (-110) is a good play based upon Detroit’s struggles to score last season. Carolina has a tremendous and powerful young offensive nucleus, and high-scoring rearguard Dougie Hamilton is healthy and raring to go. But they should have their hands full trying to solve Greiss. This one should come in just under the number.
