Carolina Hurricanes vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

The New Jersey Devils have played decent hockey these last couple of weeks and should be up for this contest to prove they’re a legitimate title contender. A statement game. With that said, we’re still getting even money with the Hurricanes, one of the best teams in the league and a team you rarely get at underdog prices. I say take advantage while you can. It also doesn’t hurt that the Canes have won 8 of the last 9 games against the Devils. Give me the Hurricanes at this price.
