Carolina plays its third straight road game with a bad offense at #24 in the NHL in goals scored, and #26 on the power play. Carolina had to play last night, too, and the UNDER is 10-3-5 when the Hurricanes are playing on no days of rest. They face an Arizona team that is short on depth, slowing the pace down. Arizona opened a six-game homestand with Friday's 2-1 overtime win over Minnesota, rallying behind Mikkel Boedker's two goals while playing without captain Shane Doan, center Martin Hanzal and goalie Mike Smith due to injuries. Arizona has scored just 2.0 goals per game over their last five and they are 5-1 UNDER the total at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. And when Carolina faces a team that just allowed two or fewer goals they are 48-22-13 UNDER the total. Dating back to last season, Arizona is 7-30 when revenging a same-season loss. Take the Hurricanes and the UNDER.
