Oilers vs Hurricanes Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Hurricanes to pick up on a win over the Oilers at home. With the moneyline sitting at -153, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Hurricanes straight-up.

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