The Carolina Hurricanes have won four of the five meetings against the Panthers this season, which includes four straight wins and a victory on Tuesday. However, we're getting arguably the best team in hockey at plus money. The Panthers are tied with the Colorado Avalanche with 56 points on the season, and they've done a good job of preventing losing streaks. The Carolina Hurricanes should be favored based on the recent matchups and the fact they're at home, but the value is with the Panthers and the plus money.
