CAR Hurricanes Win(-110)

The Carolina Hurricanes will be trying to finish off a sweep of their Eastern Conference semifinal series when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Aside from Game 2, this matchup has been all ‘Canes all the time. They won both Game 1 and Game 3 by 3 goals to go along with their 3-2 overtime victory in Game 2. Even on the road, Carolina was especially dominant on Thursday. It out-shot Philadelphia 31 to 19 and watched the home team rack up 38 penalty minutes compared to 20 for the visitors. Philly has been out-shot in every game during this series and by 22 overall. Such dominance is nothing new for the Hurricanes, either. They swept Ottawa in round 1, winning 3 of the 4 contests in regulation — this after recording an Eastern Conference-best 113 points during the regular season. With the top seed showing no signs of slowing down, my Hurricanes vs Flyers pick is for the visitors on the 3-way money line.

Philadelphia did extremely well just to make the playoffs and did even better to beat Pittsburgh in round 1. However, it could be the end of the road in 2025-26 for this team on Saturday. The Flyers may still be without Owen Tippett, who has missed the first 3 games with an undisclosed injury. Tippett (28 goals, 23 assists) is one of the leaders of this team both in the locker room and in terms of point production. It’s hard enough to beat Carolina even at full strength; it’s almost impossible for an undermanned squad. In the first round, Flyers mascot Gritty was launching stuffed animal Penguins off the upper deck. Well, the Penguins ain’t walkin’ through that door. These are the Hurricanes — and they are a wagon. Gritty might be tempted to launch himself off the upper deck this weekend. Give me Carolina to once again prevail in regulation and ease into the conference finals.
