Hurricanes vs Wild Prediction

The Hurricanes are the more talented team and should be favored, but they’ve been spotty at times over the last week or so, and the offense has struggled at times. You’ve been able to make money against the Canes as of late. The Wild have had some success on the road, they’ve earned points in four of their last five games, and they’ve won six of the last eight games against the Hurricanes. The Wild have outscored the Canes 6-1 in the last two meetings. At this price, I’ll gladly take a shot in the dark with the Wild.
