Devils vs Hurricanes Prediction

It’s going to take more than one win for me to believe the Devils have the offensive firepower to really win this series. However, the Devils winning in double overtime can do wonders for a team confidence wise. Wins like that can sometimes feel like you won a game and a half, and it can have a carry-over effect. 

The Canes aren’t the same team on the road as they are at home, as they have just 16 road wins. The Hurricanes were a mess to finish the regular season, and their offense has gone into hiding a lot during this stretch. The Canes are the better team, but the value is with the Devils at home and a chance to make 1.5 times your money.
