Carolina Hurricanes vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

The Carolina Hurricanes are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home more times than not. However, the Devils are on a tear through five games and provide value in the underdog role. Also, the Hurricanes season has been weird with Tampa Bay games being postponed, which has led to them playing just once this season and not playing in four days overall. The layoffs and whatnot have prevented the Canes from really being able to get in a rhythm. We know who does have the feet under them, and that’s the Devils. I’ll take a shot with the more favorable price and the road team.
