Edmonton is playing better, off a 2-1 loss at mighty Chicago as a +290 dog. They also won at Minnesota as a +250 dog. They face a Carolina team that is 26th in goals scored and 17th in goals allowed. Carolina is a big favorite, but has lost two in a row and is 18-37 against the Western Conference. Carolina looked like it might be giving its faint playoff hopes a little life by winning three straight to end February. The Hurricanes, though, have failed to carry that success into this month, losing both games by a combined 8-3. Edmonton has actually owned this series, 5-2 in the last seven meetings, including winning three in a row. Play Edmonton.
