If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Hurricanes coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -250, I’d recommend looking to the spread as our projections have the Hurricanes winning by more than one goal.

When making a puck line pick, we’re backing the Hurricanes to win and cover. Watch for the Hurricanes to win this game by multiple goals over the Coyotes.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
