The Carolina Hurricanes look for a third straight win to get off to an impressive 3-0 start. The Hurricanes look to start a third straight season with three straight victories. The Carolina Hurricanes are averaging 5 goals per game and are scoring on 10 percent of their power play opportunities.

Defensively, the Anaheim Ducks are allowing 4 goals per game and are killing 66.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays. John Gibson has given up 3 goals on 37 shots faced.

Randy’s Pick

The Carolina Hurricanes should be the rightful favorite as they’re off to a fast start, and they’re the more talented, deeper team. The Canes also usually don’t lose games they shouldn’t. However, the Hurricanes are playing their third game since Wednesday and just had a shootout last night with the Kings. While guys are still getting their feet wet, we’re likely going to see tired legs here from the road team. The Anaheim Ducks are young and breaking in a new coach, but at least they’re at home, and we’re getting over two times our money. I’m taking a shot in the dark here with the massive plus money, betting against the Canes and possible fatigue.
