Hurricanes Top Blackhawks
With this game being played in Carolina, there is a really good chance the Hurricanes are going to win this game. We do not like the Hurricanes to win by one goal, because the betting odds just are not very good. So, we will take the Hurricanes on the puckline.
Which means the Hurricanes got to win this game by two goals or more. They will, so bet Carolina -1.5 (-162) over the Chicago Blackhawks. Enjoy the game and good luck!
