Golden Knights vs Hurricanes Prediction
The Golden Knights are going to get the benefit of the doubt more times than not at home, but we’re getting a slushily cheaper price with the Canes, a team that has yet to lose on the season. The Hurricanes are first in goals per game and shots per game, while the defense is fourth in goals allowed, second in shots allowed, and seventh in penalty killed. We knew the Canes were title contenders before the season, but they’re in regular season form already and rolling at both ends of the ice. I’ll take the Hurricanes and the more favorable price.
