New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction: Will the Devils win their upcoming game as well?

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes match, which will take place on May 10. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

So far, the series with Carolina has unfolded for the Devils like that of the New York Rangers. The team started with two straight losses before picking up four wins in the remaining five meetings. Now, against the Hurricanes, losing 0:2, New Jersey picked up their third game. They left their opponent no chance for success (8:4). Jack Hughes got the double for the Devils. Vitek Vanecek, who replaced Akira Schmid, who started in the first two games of this series, made 26 shots saved in goal.

The Hurricanes failed in the opening stretch of game three and were already losing 0:4 early in the second period. After that, Russian Peter Kochetkov replaced Frederik Andersen in goal. But he also failed to work reliably in this game, conceding the first goal five minutes after he came on the ice, and in the third period, he conceded twice more. Conceding seven, and including the puck dropped into an empty net, eight goals is virtually impossible to claim victory in a playoff game. You have to give Rod Brindamore's team credit, though. They didn't give up until the end and, for example, after losing by 2:7 in the third period, scored twice in a row, making their opponent nervous at the end of the game.

Eight missed goals in last week's game was nonsense for Carolina, one of the NHL's best defenses in recent seasons. The team will likely do much better at home in the upcoming game. New Jersey also showed in their series with the New York Rangers that they could play tough on defense. The series' fourth game is currently a key one for both teams, so don't expect too many goals to be scored here. We'd like to pick New Jersey as the favorite.
