The Carolina Hurricanes look to extend their winning streak as they host the Detroit Red Wings. It’s time to continue our NHL odds series with a Red Wings-Hurricanes prediction and pick.
The Red Wings come into the game at 31-28-6 on the year. That places them in sixth place in the Atlantic division and two points outside a wild card spot. The Red Wings did not do a lot to upgrade at the trade deadline either. Still, they are coming off a win. In their last game, they faced the Buffalo Sabres. Tage Thompson struck first, but Marco Kasper, Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane would all score in the first period as the Red Wings would lead 3-2 heading into the second period. In the second period, both teams would add a goal, but in the third, the Red Wings would strike three times on their way to a 7-3 victory.
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are 39-22-4 on the year, sitting in second in the Metropolitan Division. Despite concerns about the Hurricanes’ trade deadline, they have been winning. They come in as winners of six of their last seven. In their last game they faced the Tampa Bay Lightning. Seth Jarvis scored first, scoring shorthanded in the first period. The Hurricanes would add two more goals in the second period. The Lightning would get one back in the third, but Carolina would go on to win the game 4-1.
