Rangers vs Hurricanes Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Rangers to secure a victory over the Hurricanes on the road. With the moneyline currently set at +128, I’m locking in my bet on the Rangers straight-up.

Our projections have the Rangers pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Rangers, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to 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.
