Key Injuries
The Hurricanes are hoping for the return of defenseman Jalen Chatfield, who has been sidelined but is nearing a return. The Wild are relatively healthy but will need their depth forwards to step up against Carolina’s suffocating forecheck.
Game Prediction and Betting Insight
The betting markets have positioned the Carolina Hurricanes as -165 favorites, with the Over/Under set at 6.5 goals.
Personally, I see value in the Hurricanes here. Carolina’s road record has been stellar this season, and their ability to control 5-on-5 play is unmatched. The Wild have been inconsistent in net, and while Kaprizov can change a game in an instant, Carolina’s depth should overwhelm Minnesota over 60 minutes. I expect a tight checking game initially that opens up in the third period. I’m laying the juice with the Canes, but I’d tread carefully on that total—this feels like a 4-2 type of game.
Prediction: Carolina Hurricanes win 4-2.
