Carolina Hurricanes vs Vancouver Canucks prediction
The Carolina Hurricanes aren’t having the best week as they’ve lost 3 straight games ad the offense has come up short. The Canes are probably the more talented team, and you have to believe they’re going to end this drought sooner than later. However, it’s the Vancouver Canucks who are at home and have more points in the standings. It’s hard to turn down the plus money here. Give me the Canucks.
