Carolina Hurricanes vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/22/26

Sunday afternoon in the NHL brings us a major Metropolitan Division matchup in the NHL between the Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguin. The two are first and second in the division respectively, and play for the fourth and final time this regular season. To get you set for the action, here is our Hurricanes vs. Penguins prediction.

The Penguins have shown an explosive offense as of late, which has helped them on their current run of 4-1-3. However, during that span they have also given up well over four goals per game, which is a major concern. Carolina has already proven twice in the last 12 days that not only can they keep up with that offense, but they can surpass it (5-4 and 6-5 victories). Carolina has won three of their last four games, including taking down another one of the Eastern Conference’s best in the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tied with the Buffalo Sabres for the Eastern Conference lead, their one game in hand makes this a massive two points. They have been decent on the road at 18-10-4, and I see this improving against an inconsistent Penguins team. For our Hurricanes vs. Penguins prediction, take Carolina on the money line.
