Carolina Hurricanes vs St. Louis Blues Prediction

The Carolina Hurricanes are not only the more talented team and trustworthy based on last season’s results, but they’ve been the better team at both ends of the ice despite the small sample size. The St. Louis Blues need to find some offense before they can be trusted against above-average teams. Also, the Hurricanes have won 6 of the last 8 games against the Blues, and 5 of those wins were decided by 2 or more goals. The Canes have had their way with the Blues over the years. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Canes on the road.
