Hurricanes vs Bruins Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Hurricanes to come out with a win against the Bruins while playing on the road. Considering the moneyline odds at +113, I’m placing my bet on the Hurricanes to win outright.

Our projections have the Hurricanes pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Hurricanes, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

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.
