St. Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/12/26

The St. Louis Blues will be in Carolina on Thursday to take on the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes are sitting atop the Metropolitan Division with a comfortable lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins in second place. The Hurricanes have been playing well lately; they come into this game with an 8-2 record in their last 10 games. They are one of the best home teams in the league with a 24-8-2 record on home ice. On top of this, they are one of the best defensive teams in the game. They average 2.88 goals against per game which is eighth best in the NHL, and they limit their opponents to only 24.3 shots on goal per game, which is best in the league. On the flip side of things, they are averaging 3.5 goals for per game, good for sixth best in the league. They are a far better offensive team than the Blues who average only 2.63 goals for per game.

The Hurricanes have four solid lines and play a relentless forechecking style of game that is difficult for opponents to defend for 60 minutes. I think the Hurricanes will get it done on home ice.
