The Hurricanes are red hot, and there’s no reason to believe that changes tonight. They’re riding a five-game win streak, locking down opponents defensively, and playing some of their best hockey of the season.

Detroit might’ve picked up a big win over Buffalo, but let’s be real—that doesn’t mean their struggles are over. Before that, they dropped six straight games, and their defense is still a major issue. They’re giving up over 3 goals per game, and against a Carolina team that controls possession and wears teams down, that’s a nightmare waiting to happen.

And then there’s Frederik Andersen—this guy owns Detroit. He’s 12-1-1 all-time against the Red Wings with a .926 save percentage and three shutouts. Detroit is going to have a tough time finding the back of the net, while Carolina’s offense will have plenty of chances to bury them early.

The Canes are just too good right now—better defence, stronger goaltending, and a team that’s clicking in every phase of the game. Expect them to control the tempo, capitalize on Detroit’s mistakes, and cruise to a multi-goal win.

Carolina rolls! Take them -1.5 with confidence!
