Carolina Hurricanes vs. Minnesota Wild Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. I think the Wild’s recent run of form has to be connected to the fact that the defense and goaltending has been stepping up and keeping a lot of these recent games more low-scoring. The Hurricanes still have one of the most complete goaltending rooms in the NHL, and for me this sets up as a 3-2 kind of game at most. Give me the under.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Under 6.5
