Hurricanes at Canucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hurricanes 4, Canucks 2
Moneyline
The HURRICANES (-150) are looking to get back on track by doing what they do best, beat the bottom-feeders. Carolina struggled a bit against contending teams in Alberta, but it has victories against Columbus, San Jose and Seattle, and will get another one here. Don’t be dissuaded by the fact the home team has won 9 of the last 10 in this series. Vancouver is playing bad hockey right now.
Puck line/Against the spread
The HURRICANES -1.5 (+150) are worth a roll of the dice here. Demko has been more than giving, and the Canucks +1.5 (-190) are really struggling in all facets of the game right now. The team can’t buy goals, and can’t stop giving them up.
Over/Under
UNDER 6.5 (+102) is the lean here, but not because of the Canucks. Vancouver has been horrific on the penalty kill, ranking 31st out of 32 teams at 58.8%. It is also yielding 4.4 goals per game.
The Hurricanes are playing pretty good hockey, however, and Carolina has allowed just 1 goal in each of its 3 wins. It should get the win here, and as such, Carolina won’t allow much.
