BETTING TRENDS

Carolina are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

Carolina are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against NY Kraken.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of NY Kraken' last 5 games.

NY Kraken are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

Prediction

The Kraken have one of the worst defenses in the NHL and are allowing over 3 goals per game in their last 10 games. The Hurricanes have the #2 defense in the league and are allowing 2.8 gpg in their last 10 games. These teams are fighting for the 1st place in the division so it should be a very close game and with 2 of the best defenses in the league I think the best play is the under.
