Vegas Golden Knights vs. Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on Carolina here. I like this Golden Knights team, but I will say I like them a lot more at home and I think the Hurricanes are just playing the better hockey over the last week. The Hurricanes when healthy have one of the more underrated goalie rooms in the NHL and I just trust their goaltending more in this spot. Give me the Hurricanes in this one.
