Vancouver Canucks vs Carolina Hurricanes prediction
The Carolina Hurricanes are a super talented team and them being at home only helps their case. The Canes should be favored. I get it. However, the Canucks have been just as good this season, and you can argue they're the better team regardless of where the game is being held. The Canucks have been one of the best teams in the league, whether on the road or at home. The Canucks and plus money is highly attractive, and they beat the Hurricanes back in early December. The value is with Vancouver, and a price you shouldn't see with this team most nights.
