Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes Pick
Money line pick for Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes
- Hurricanes ML -142 (5 units)
Carolina did lose to Vegas last week, but this is a good spot for the Hurricanes to get back on track. The final road game for a team is always tough, and the Golden Knights have some key injuries. Andersen has been better at home, as has Carolina, as the Hurricanes will start strong after being on the road for six games. Expect the Hurricanes to get out to an early lead and build off it to get a big win here.
Over/Under pick for Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes
- Under 6.5 goals -130 (4 units)
The under is also a good spot here as Andersen and Schmid should both be solid to limit the offense to help the under cash. Both teams also have some key players injured, which will hinder the offense. Vegas, meanwhile, will likely have some tired legs after being on the road for so long. The game last week between these two teams went under 6.5 goals, so expect that to happen again.
