Minnesota Wild vs. Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on Carolina here. I just think that Carolina is back on track and especially now that they have a healthy Kochetkov in their goalie room, it makes it really hard to ignore what this Carolina goalie room is on paper. Minnesota continues to be inconsistent across the board and even at this price, it’s hard to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m rolling with Carolina in this one.
