New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/28/26

The Carolina Hurricanes will be hosting the New Jersey Devils on Saturday evening. The Devils come into this game playing some good hockey, despite being all but eliminated from playoff contention. The Devils are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games. They are running into one of the most solid teams in the league in the Hurricanes. They Hurricanes are ranked fourth offensively in the league and they limit their opponents to the fewest shots on goal per game in the NHL. They are extremely dominant on home ice, their record at the Lenovo Center is 25-9-2. The Hurricanes have the top spot in the Metropolitan Division pretty well locked up, but they have the Buffalo Sabres to contend with for the top spot overall in the Eastern Conference. Finishing first in the conference guarantees you home ice advantage all the way to the conference final round. I expect they have winning the conference in their mind.

The Hurricanes are a much deeper team than the Devils and their relentless forecheck wears down the opposing team’s defense. I like the Hurricanes to get it done on home ice today.
