Hurricanes vs. Ducks PicksMoney Line Pick for Hurricanes vs. Ducks Carolina Hurricanes ML (4 Units)
The Hurricanes have won three straight games, while the Ducks have won two of their three games. Carolina has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively and have scored at least four goals in three straight games. They haven’t been as good on special teams, converting less than 10 percent of their power play opportunities. The Ducks are one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to penalty kills, and they’re not playing well defensively, giving up 12 goals in their three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Hurricanes.
Even though they’ve played well offensively so far, the Ducks will have a hard time keeping up with the Hurricanes because Carolina is one of the best teams in the league when it comes to penalty kills, and they’re playing well defensively, giving up seven goals in their last three games, so expect them to keep Anaheim’s offense in check. Take Carolina on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Hurricanes vs. Ducks
The Hurricanes average five goals per game, and scored five goals in their lone road game. They converted nine percent of their power play chances in their first three games. They are facing a team that killed 71 percent of their penalties in their last three games and gave up four goals per game. The Ducks average four goals per game, and scored four goals in their lone home game. They’ve converted 36.4 percent of their power play chances. They are facing a team that killed 90 percent of their penalties and is giving up 2.33 goals per game. Don’t expect these teams to score enough goals to push the score over the total.
