Carolina looks to avenge a 6-5 overtime loss to the Predators in the first meeting this season on Dec. 15 as well as to bounce back from a 5-4 loss to the red-hot New York Islanders on Saturday. Carolina goalie Pyotr Kochetkov had one of his worst games of the season allowing all five goals against the Devils, but he still owns a 2.69 goals-against average and is likely for this game. He has started four straight games and likely was a little tired against the Islanders and the holiday break came in handy for the Hurricanes. Nashville goalie Juuse Saros has lost two of three while allowing 10 goals his past three starts. The Predators are 1-4 their past five games as underdogs of +110 to +150 and they gave up three goals in the third period, including two in the final 15 seconds while losing 3-2 to Dallas on Saturday. Take the Hurricanes as a Max Play.

The Carolina Hurricanes are coming off a six game road trip, and while I'm sure it feels good to be home, sometimes it takes a day or so to really get settled in. Looking back many years an NHL team coming off six or more straight road games has a negative 4.4% ROI when playing their next game at home. Nashville has really gotten hot and confident as the Predators are an impressive 11-3 in their last 14 games. They have translated that streak to the road also where they are 4-1 in their last five. I think this team is worthy of a play at this price, especially with the poor history of a team playing at home for the first time off an extended road trip. Make the play on Nashville.
