Devils vs. Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on the Hurricanes here. The Devils continue to be inconsistent and I’m still not loving what I’m seeing from this Devils’ goaltending group if I’m being 100% honest. The Hurricanes seem much more sound defensively and across the board right now for that matter, and I think the ‘Canes do enough to snag themselves the win and cover here.
