Carolina at Florida

The Carolina Hurricanes are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now as they have won four straight. On the season, they have actually played better on the road where they are 9-6-4. Cam Ward has been hot behind the net allowing just six pucks to trickle through in his last four games, or 1.5 a game. That certainly makes winning a lot easier. After suffering just three losses in 11 games, the Panthers have hit the skids as they have now claimed victory in two of their last seven games. The Hurricanes have been a spotless 5-0 in their last five against the Southeast, and have also played 25-9-1 in their last 35 as an underdog. The Panthers are not playing particularly well and will be playing their fourth game in six days - a situation that finds them just 5-17 in their last 26. The Panthers are also 18-4-1 to the UNDER when coming home after a seven-day or longer road trip. I like Carolina and the total to go UNDER in this one.
