Carolina at Nashville

The strange NHL season saw Carolina close the year with a pair of losses to Nashville. That momentum was short-lived as the Hurricanes have jumped out to a 2-0 series lead with a pair of home wins to open the series. The Hurricanes sure have had the Predators number as they are now 16-3 against them in the last 19 meetings. The difference has been on offense as the Hurricanes have scored 3 or more times in 16 of the 19 games. It has been a different Predators offense at home as we saw them light the lamp eight times in the final two games of the season. I expect both teams to put some goals on the board here. Play this one OVER the total.
