Carolina Hurricanes win and under 6.5 (+150)
The Hurricanes are playing great hockey after an underwhelming start to the season. Carolina has won 6 out of their last 8 and have the edge over Philadelphia tonight. The Flyers are winless in their last 8 head to head against the Hurricanes and are 5-14 in their last 19 games on the road dating back to last season.
Carolina got back to their signature strong goal prevention which has not only led to wins, but has led to 7 unders in their last 9 games. The under has also hit in 6 out of Carolina's last 7 road games, as well as in 4 out of Philadelphia's last 5 games. Pure matchup, recent trends, and team strengths and weaknesses look good for another low total tonight.
