Carolina Hurricanes vs. St. Louis Blues Prediction

I’m on the Hurricanes here. I just think that Carolina is the far superior team in this matchup, and I feel like I can trust what Carolina is bringing to the table on a nightly basis far more than I can trust St. Louis, especially when it comes down to goaltending. I prefer backing Carolina at home, but fading the Blues has been profitable this season and I look for it to cash again here. Give me Carolina.
