Red Wings vs Hurricanes Prediction

The Hurricanes are the better team and should be favored, but they’re not playing great hockey at the moment, and that includes losses in six of their last nine games. The Canes have had issues stringing together offense over the last few weeks. The Red Wings have quietly been putting together wins, and they’re a confident bunch, especially at home where they’ve earned points in 19 games. The Canes have seen 15 of their 22 losses this season on the road. With the Hurricanes struggling these last few weeks, I’m going to take a shot with the Red Wings and the plus money.
