Carolina vs Detroit: the Hurricanes to Outclass the Red Wings

Prediction for the NHL Carolina vs Detroit match, which will take place on April 15 at 02:00. Who will be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

Carolina secured a playoff ticket ahead of schedule, but there is no time to relax. Carolina is in the top spot in the Capital One standings, trailing the inferior Rangers by only four points. So the Hurricanes have to win the game against Detroit. Even though they are not in great shape for the upcoming game. The team have three wins - over Buffalo, Anaheim and the Rangers - and two losses (to Buffalo and the Islanders) in their last five games. 

After an unexpected 5:3 victory over Boston, the Red Wings outplayed Winnipeg 3:1, but their luck was short-lived. In the next game, the Red Wings lost upsettingly to Columbus in overtime, and then failed by three pucks to Ottawa. In fact, these results don't make any difference anymore, as Detroit ranks fifth in the Atlantic Division standings, 29 points behind higher Boston

Carolina is more seasoned and skilled squad so we're expecting a one-game showdown. The Hurricanes will be playing on their arena, where they have the second best record in the Eastern Conference.

• Detroit has lost four of its last five away encounters.
• Carolina has won three of its previous five matches.
• Carolina is the clear favorite to win the game.

Detroit does not inspire much confidence. They've had wins over Boston and Winnipeg recently, but that could very well be called a fluke. For example, the Red Wings couldn't hold their own against Ottawa. Overall, we suggest betting on a clean win for the home team and five goals scored.
