The Detroit Red Wings are a below average team with nothing to play for, and inspiration usually doesn’t come in these spots on the end of a back to back. The Carolina Hurricanes have been one of the most consistent teams these last couple of months, and they need to keep winning to lock up a division title. Give me the Canes and the PL for max betting value.
