Red Wings vs. Hurricanes Prediction
I’m on Carolina here. I just think the Red Wings are starting to run out of steam at the worst possible time and the Red Wings as of late are starting to look like the Red Wings of old, not being able to catch a break in terms of winning games on the road, having lost their last 7 games away from the Motor City. Carolina’s stumbled in recent spots, but they’ve won their last three meetings with the Red Wings and I think the Hurricanes snag another here. Give me Carolina.
