Both teams have been performing well recently, but the Hurricanes’ home-ice advantage and strong defensive play may give them the edge in this matchup. Expect a closely contested game with limited scoring opportunities. The under is 3-6-1 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams. I’m taking the under 6 at Bovada.lv.
