Carolina at Columbus

Carolina has won all three of its games tallying 13 goals. They've picked up right where they left off last season when they won the Central Division with a 36-12-8 mark. The Hurricanes outscored opponents last year by +43, the top differential in the East, third-best in the NHL. Carolina is 42-20 as a favorite, 21-10 after a victory, 24-9 after allowing 2 goals or fewer in the last game. Columbus was last in the Central division a year ago getting outscored by 50 goals. It's a young team that has won two of three despite scoring just 6 goals. Carolina winds up a three-game road trip here, but the Hurricanes are 24-12 after playing two straight road contests.
