Carolina at Florida

Both teams have clinched a playoff spot, but they still could improve their seeding with a win tonight. Carolina have a one-point lead over New Jersey in the Metropolitan Division and the winner will get the top wild-card team and the loser will face the New York Rangers. Florida could avoid facing Boston with a victory in this game. The Hurricanes likely will go with Frederik Andersen in net and he owns a 20-11-1 record and a 2.43 goals-against average and Alex Lyon is confirmed for the Panthers, who had a six-game win streak snapped in a 2-1 overtime loss to Toronto on Monday. Carolina won the last meeting 4-0 on Dec. 30 and it is 21-7 versus an opponent that scored two or fewer goals its previous game and 84-36 after allowing two or fewer its last game. Also, the Hurricanes are 44-19 following a win. Bet the Hurricanes as a Max Play.
