Carolina Hurricanes vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup playing very well over the last week, but Vancouver will have the home-ice advantage. The Canucks have scored 16 goals in their last four games, while Carolina has only allowed five goals in their last three. I am interested to see how the Carolina defense does against this Vancouver attack, but I think the Canucks have the edge, especially with Carolina on a long road trip.
