Carolina Hurricanes vs Nashville Predators Prediction: Carolina is one of the strongest teams in the league

Prediction for the NHL Carolina Hurricanes vs Nashville Predators match, which will take place on January 6. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina is still a young team among the Stanley Cup contenders for more than a year while actively progressing. In the current regular season, the Hurricanes did not start so well, but a series of setbacks in the debut didn't embarrass them but strengthened them. Their five-game losing streak ended at the end of November, after which they picked up a phenomenal run. In the 17 games, they lost 3:4 to the Rangers the day before, then lost 3:4 in overtime to Anaheim, and had 15 wins. That run allowed Carolina to move to second place in the Eastern Conference.

Nashville Predators

Nashville is another perennially progressive team, except they never really got into the fight for the Stanley Cup. They are not performing well at all in the regular season, at risk of missing the Cup battles. The team snapped a six-game losing streak in December. Recently the situation managed to stabilize a little, as in the previous seven games, they had four wins and three losses, but it was enough only for the current 11th place in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Carolina is one of the strongest teams in the league right now. The fact that the Hurricanes won 15 of their last 17 games points to their phenomenal form, making the Red and Black a favorite in their next match. Moreover, Nashville is far from perfect to offer decent resistance to Rod Brind'amour's charges. In the last 13 games, the Predators have lost nine times, and they cannot win four straight battles in face-to-face meetings. As a result, a bet on a Carolina win at odds around 1.76 is in order.

In the ten previous meetings, the Hurricanes scored 40 pucks (4.00 average per game). And now they will have a great chance to prove themselves on offense, as Nashville can not boast a reliable defense. On this basis, the best option for the prediction seems to be an individual total of Carolina over 3.5 pucks at odds close to 2. It is worth paying attention to the bet on the total over 0.5 points of Brent Burns for 1.66.
