The Hurricanes are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Nashville and 7-1 in the last 8 meetings. The road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The underdog is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.
It's not easy to beat the same team twice in as many days, but the Carolina Hurricanes were in complete control of the meeting yesterday and are off to a rather solid start. The Canes have also been money playing on the end of back to backs dating back to last season. The Hurricanes have also owned the Nashville Predators in past meetings, now winning eight of the last nine meetings. I'll take the cheaper price with the road team.
