Kraken vs Hurricanes Prediction

If you’re looking for a straight moneyline bet, then the Hurricanes are the way to go. However, with a payout of -254, you might consider using this bet as a leg of a parlay.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Kraken to cover. Even in the event of a Hurricanes victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Kraken should 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.
