Carolina vs. Utah Prediction

I’m with Carolina here. The Hurricanes are just heads and shoulders the better team here and while I could understand the potential of a letdown here after Carolina just took down the Vegas Golden Knights, Utah isn’t playing well enough in my opinion to take advantage of that. Give me Carolina here.
