Panthers vs Hurricanes Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Hurricanes to come out with a win against the Panthers while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -138, I’m placing my bet on the Hurricanes to win outright.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Panthers to cover. Even if the Hurricanes win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Panthers should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
