Game Preview
The Carolina Hurricanes have been one of the most consistent teams in the Eastern Conference so far this season, and that sees them sit top of the Metropolitan Division.
They have accumulated an overall record of 21-9-2 in 2025-26, and they are currently three points clear of the New York Islanders. Their recent form is also hugely positive, having registered wins in their last four games.
Their most recent success was achieved against the Philadelphia Flyers following a shootout. Taylor Hall and William Carrier scored the goals in the regulation periods.
Despite having the home ice advantage this week, the Nashville Predators will be the outsiders in the betting. They have dropped to the bottom of the Central Division standings after accumulating an overall record of 13-15-4.
However, their results over their last ten have been largely impressive, winning on seven occasions. The Preds were fine 5-2 winners in their most recent outing, with Filip Forsberg scoring three goals.
Hurricanes vs. Predators Picks
There is a big difference in the price between these sides, but the Preds having home advantage could be crucial. They have a winning home record against the Hurricanes, and positives can be taken from their run of wins over their last ten.
