Hurricanes vs Devils Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
NJ Devils Win(+100)

The Carolina Hurricanes are travelling to New Jersey to face the Devils for the second time this season. In their first meeting in October, the teams combined for 9 goals, with the Hurricanes winning 6-3. This time, however, we may not see as many goals, as the Devils are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league. Despite this, they still have a chance to win the game.

The Hurricanes have lost three consecutive games, including a 5-3 defeat to the Avalanche, during which they squandered a 3-1 lead going into the third period. In their last three games, they have allowed a total of 17 goals. This is a team built from the back end, so when neither goalie can make saves, winning becomes a daunting task. On the other hand, the Devils have won two in a row and will be relying on Jake Allen, who has performed well this season. Brandon Bussi is expected to start for Carolina. Although he has an impressive record of 13 wins, 2 losses, and 1 overtime loss, his save percentage is only 0.900. If the Devils create scoring opportunities and Allen effectively shuts down the Hurricanes, they stand a good chance of winning.
