- Hurricanes -145 (4 units)
Carolina has played well this season as they are tied for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division standings. The Hurricanes come in with momentum on their side and they have been strong as the visiting team, posting a 7-3 mark away from Raleigh. Minnesota has won two straight and four of their previous five games but the fact remains that they have been up and down this season.
