Nashville Predators vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction & Picks

Game Prediction

The best betting angle could be Carolina Hurricanes to win by a considerable margin of victory. Therefore, the pick is -1.5 goals on the puck line at generous odds of -102.

The formbook is always a good place to start ahead of making NHL picks. Team news is also an important port of call, while the player and goalie stats we present always tell an interesting story.

Key Predators vs Hurricanes stats:

• The -1.5 line has been covered by Hurricanes in 4 of their last 5 games.
• The -1.5 line has been covered by Hurricanes in 6 of their last 10 games.
• The -1.5 line has been covered by Hurricanes in 3 consecutive games at home.
• The +1.5 line hasn’t been covered by Predators in 3 of their last 5 games.
• The +1.5 line hasn’t been covered by Predators in 14 of their last 25 games on the road this season.

Canes -1.5 Probability

The sportsbooks make it a 50.5% chance that our pick is settled as a winner. However, our cappers think that the probability sits between 55-60% taking all factors into consideration. It is therefore regarded as a value bet.

There’s the chance to sell goals and that means moving the line until you’re happy with the wager. It means a riskier Puck Line bet but a bigger return on the odds available.
