The defending Stanley Cup champions hit the road for the Music City, as the Carolina Hurricanes meet the Nashville Predators. Carolina blasted the Winnipeg Jets 7-0 last time out as a major favorite (-278) as the Over (6.5) connected, while goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov earned another shutout, his second in the past four games. Carolina has picked up at least one point in 13 of the past 14 games, going 12-1-1.
For the Predators, they're coming off a wild 5-4 shootout victory, but Nashville is just 3-3-4 in the past 10 outings. The Over has cashed in four in a row for Nashville, too, in case you're into a same-game parlay (SGP) possibility. Carolina swept the series last season, including a 4-1 win by the Hurricanes on Dec. 17, 2025, while the Canes have won two of the past three trips to the Music City. Let's back the Canes on the 3-way ML for better value.
Hurricanes vs Predators prediction: Hurricanes 3-way ML (-120) available at time of publishing. Playable to -140.
