Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Hurricanes to defeat the Golden Knights while playing on the road. Given the current moneyline odds at -143, I’m placing a wager on the Hurricanes to win outright.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Golden Knights to cover. Even if the Hurricanes manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Golden Knights should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
