Carolina goes for its fourth consecutive win after topping Dallas 2-1 on Tuesday when Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored both Carolina goals and Pyotr Kochetkov had 22 saves for the Hurricanes, who are 5-0 their past five games against teams that allowed two or fewer goals their previous game. Columbus is playing its fourth game in six days and all of them are on the road. The Blue Jackets are 2-10 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation and 10-52 their past 62 games as road underdogs of at least +201. Columbus has gone UNDER six straight after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game and it has stayed UNDER its past six games overall. The Hurricanes are 6-3-1 UNDER their past 10 and they are expected to start Frederik Andersen, who won four of his first five starts before going down with a knee injury in October. Take the Hurricanes and the UNDER.
