Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Pick
Money Line Pick For Hurricanes vs Golden Knights
- Golden Knights (-120) (4 units)
The Hurricanes are unbeaten but I see the Golden Knights stepping up on their home and taking over this game. The Golden Knights, who average 4.33 goals per game, should find the back of the net at will with Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Golden Knights should limit the Hurricanes offense with Ben Hutton, Kaedan Korczak, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Adin Hill to make plenty of big saves. The Golden Knights should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.
Take the Golden Knights money line as home Favorites.
Over/Under Pick For Hurricanes vs Golden Knights
- Over 6 (5 Units)
The Hurricanes and Golden Knights have great offenses that look to take over this game from the first period. The Hurricanes, who average 4.60 goals per game, should find the back of the net at will with Seth Jarvis, Sebastian Aho, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Golden Knights, who have 16 goals in their last three games, should run up the score with Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, Mitch Marner, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement to overwhelm the Hurricanes defense. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6 goals.
