Hurricanes vs Blues Prediction
The Hurricanes are worthy favorites for obvious reasons, and they’ve been road warriors out of the gate. However, this will be a fifth straight road game for the Canes, and that has to take its toll. The Blues have been great on their home ice and just snagged a statement win over Vegas. The Blues should be excited for this one, and they’ve already won 3 of the last 4 games against the Canes. It feelsl ike the value is with the Blues and the plus money. I’ll take it.
