Nashville Predators Favored Over Struggling Carolina Hurricanes on the Road

The Nashville Predators have shown strong performance in their recent home games, winning two out of their last three. On the other hand, the Carolina Hurricanes have struggled on the road, losing five of their last six games away from home. With a potent offense that has scored nine goals in their recent home games, the Predators have an advantage. However, their special teams have room for improvement, with a power play conversion rate of 17 percent. The Hurricanes, while strong on penalty kills, have had defensive shortcomings on the road, allowing 11 goals in their last three away games. Furthermore, playing on consecutive nights may result in fatigue for Carolina, impacting their ability to contain the Predators' offense. In contrast, the Hurricanes have struggled offensively on the road, scoring only four goals in their last three away games. Despite their strong special teams performance, converting over 26 percent of their power play opportunities, the Predators' robust penalty kill and solid defense at home suggest they will be able to limit Carolina's offensive output. Based on these factors, it is advisable to place a bet on the Nashville Predators to cover the money line in this game.
