Carolina Hurricanes vs St. Louis Blues Prediction
The St. Louis Blues are a feisty bunch that does just enough to be worth a look as a massive dog, and they beat the Canes already this season as an underdog. However, the Blues are doing enough losing to be a negative for bettors, and the Hurricanes have been money on their home ice. The Canes are 6-1-0 at home this season, and they haven’t lost at home since their season opener more than a month ago. This is a tough spot for the Blues at the end of a back-to-back. Give me the Hurricanes and the PL for max betting value.
