Toronto Maple Leafs vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/04/25

The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to take on the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in Raleigh. The road has not been kind to the Maple Leafs so far in 2025, as Craig Berube’s team owns a 4-7-0 record away from Toronto. This matchup against Carolina presents a tough scheduling spot for Toronto. The Maple Leafs will be playing their 6th and final game of their current road trip, and having to face a well-rested Hurricanes team puts Toronto at a disadvantage. Carolina hasn’t played since Sunday, while while Toronto battled Florida on Tuesday. In the year of the condensed schedule, those extra days rest could prove to be even more of an advantage for Carolina in this one.

Carolina has been one of the best home ice teams in the NHL so far this season. The Canes average 3.75 goals per game on home ice, which is good for 3rd in the league. That’s even more impressive when considering the fact that Carolina’s power play ranks 24th in the league with a conversion rate of 15.2% at home. That shows us that the Canes are dominating at 5-on-5 hockey in the comfort of their own barn. The Maple Leafs might have their hands full in this one. Back the Hurricanes.
