Carolina Hurricanes (3-1-1) vs. Vancouver Canucks (0-4-2)
The 2022-23 NHL season continues Monday, October 24, with the cross-conference showdown from Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, so here’s the best Hurricanes vs. Canucks betting pick along with the latest odds update.
The Hurricanes open as -160 road favorites with a total of 6.5 goals. Last season, the Canes and Canucks split their two-game series. Each team merged victorious on the home ice, and both games went under the total.
After winning their first three games in 2022-23, the Carolina Hurricanes have dropped two in a row at Edmonton 6-4 and Calgary 3-2 in overtime. Last Saturday, the Canes blew a two-goal lead in a tough loss against the Flames, playing as +130 road underdogs. Sebastian Aho gave Carolina an early lead, while Calvin de Haan scored his first goal of the season midway through the first period to make it 2-0, but that was all from the Hurricanes on the night.
Andrei Svechnikov had a hat trick against Edmonton, as Carolina trailed the Oilers all night long. The Canes took 40 shots toward Jack Campbell, while Frederik Andersen yielded five goals on 32 shots on the other side. Antti Raanta patrolled the crease against Calgary, yielding three goals on 32 shots.

The Canes rank 20th in the league in shooting percentage (9.5) and second in high-danger scoring chances (73.6%).
