Devils vs Hurricanes Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Devils to secure a victory over the Hurricanes on the road. With the moneyline currently set at +126, I’m locking in my bet on the Devils straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Devils winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Devils straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
