The Carolina Hurricanes started their quest for back-to-back Stanley Cups this season with back-to-back home losses; well, they have gone on to win six straight! Each of the last five have been by multiple goals, as well -- so when it comes to Hurricanes vs Jets predictions, Winnipeg would prefer to have Connor Hellebuyck back in net.
Even still, we have seen the Jets post some solid wins with Stuart Skinner between the pipes, including holding Kirill Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild to just two goals. We’ve even seen them take down the Colorado Avalanche, so we can’t just assume that the Hurricanes hot streak rolls on with ease here. Not only that, but we recently saw Carolina captain Jordan Staal go down with a torn calf, sidelining him for one to two months. They still have some big names, but at the end of the day, they’ve been known for preventing pressure on net for several seasons now, hence our best Hurricanes vs Jets prediction.
Once again, they are allowing the fewest shots on goal per game at just 21.5! Even with Kyle Connor in Winnipeg, theycqre going to need more than that. Therefore, we’re going to be sweating out an under for this interconference clash.
Hurricanes vs Jets prediction: Under 6 (-125) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
