Hurricanes vs Canucks Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Canucks to come out with a win against the Hurricanes while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +102, I’m placing my bet on the Canucks to win outright.

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

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
