Carolina goes for its seventh consecutive win after winning in overtime 5-4 over Los Angeles on Tuesday night with Frederik Andersen stopping 17 shots and Sebastian Aho scored the game-winner. They'll be no drop-off in net tonight with Antti Raanta expected to start as he is 12-2-2 with a 2.55 goals-against average and he has won nine straight decisions. Buffalo had its five-game win streak snapped in a 3-2 shootout loss to Minnesota on Saturday, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is likely in net again with a 3.26 GAA and .900 save percentage. The past 10 meetings are 8-1-1 OVER, including Carolina's 5-3 win in November in the only meeting this season. The Hurricanes have won 19 of the past 26 times the teams have met and the OVER went 16-5-5, including 8-0-1 OVER the last nine. Carolina is 14-2 versus teams with winning records. Play the Hurricanes and the OVER.
