Red Wings vs Hurricanes Prediction
Detroit was able to finally snap their losing streak with a win over Buffalo in their last game, but they have struggled to win games over the last two weeks. The Red Wings are 14-13-3 on the road this year, while the Hurricanes are 26-7-1 at home. Carolina has won five games in a row and their last two have been very impressive over the Lightning and Jets. The Red Wings have actually played decently well in their last five games, but they need to find more consistent scoring. These two teams just played on March 4th, with Carolina winning by a score of 2-1, but I do think we will see more goals here. Detroit has been generating quite a few chances in each of their last five games, while their defense/goaltending has been a mess. Take the over here.
