Detroit Red Wings vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/27/25

The Detroit Red Wings posted 3 straight wins, and 5 of 6 victories, prior to the Christmas break. Detroit has outscored the opposition 12-7, with a pair of one-goal wins in the past 2 games, both in overtime. The Under is 5-2 in the past 7 games, but the Over cashed in 2 of the 3 games before the break. The Red Wings have lit the lamp 3 or more times in 5 of the past 6 games, and 10 of 12 in December. The over has a slight 4-3 edge in the past 7 road outings, too.

The Carolina Hurricanes cashed in 3 straight games prior to the holiday break, averaging 3 goals per game during the streak, while allowing 5 goals per game. The Canes have managed to score at least three goals in 7 of the past 8 games, averaging 3.4 goals, while allowing 3 goals in that 8-game run. After plenty of rest, both of these sides should be raring to go. I expect that we see at least 7 goals, if not more, as the teams get back on the ice. Both Carolina and Detroit have been off since Tuesday night, so the energy levels will be high, and the defense will be low.
