Hurricanes vs Red Wings Prediction
I’m on the Hurricanes in this one. One win isn’t going to convince me that all of a sudden, the Red Wings’ problems have gone away, and the Carolina Hurricanes are still one of the premier home teams in the NHL. It’s where they’ve been at their best by far this season. Detroit has also had issues in this head-to-head matchup, and I think this is a spot where Carolina handles business and gets the job done. Give me Carolina in this one.
