Detroit Red Wings vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/28/26

The Carolina Hurricanes host the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday evening in the NHL. This is a bigtime Eastern Conference matchup that should generate fireworks between 2 teams that have floated at the top of the conference all season. Here is a Red Wings vs Hurricanes prediction to get you set for the action.

Carolina has done well against Detroit this season, as it is 1-0-1 and has outscored the Wings 8-6. I expect that success to continue, as the ‘Canes are coming off a regulation win against a true powerhouse in the Tampa Bay Lightning. Carolina owns  a massive 8-point lead in the Metropolitan Division and is now tied for the Eastern Conference lead with 80 points due to a dominant run of 9-0-2. It is hard to see this train rolling in Carolina, especially on home ice — where the Hurricanes are elite at 22-8-2. Detroit has been strong in its own right, but dating back to January 27 it is just 2-3-1. I expect the Wings to compete, but they will run into a brick wall with how hot this Hurricanes team has been. For our Red Wings vs Hurricanes prediction, let’s side with Carolina on the money line.
