For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Hurricanes to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Hurricanes to win this one by multiple goals over the Canucks.

For those assessing the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will stay below that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the under.
