Our Best Bet:

Carolina Hurricanes 3-Way Moneyline (-115)

The Hurricanes have dominated the season series, and their home record speaks for itself. Despite recent losses, Carolina has maintained high offensive output and strong penalty killing, while New York’s goaltending has completely fallen apart. This is a bounce-back spot for the Canes at home against a team they’ve owned this season. Expect them to win comfortably and cover the puck line.
