Carolina at New Jersey

Carolina focuses on defense first, winning three in a row and four of  five despite an offense that ranks #22 in goals scored, #20 on the power play. They had to play last night in a 4-1 win over Ottawa at home, and now head out on the road. The Hurricanes are 7-3 UNDER the total when playing their fourth game in six nights. They've also gone UNDER in five of the last seven times they've played the second of a back-to-back spot. New Jersey's offense is in the middle of the pack, #15 in goals scored, #16 on the power play. The Devils play their best defense at home, off a 2-1 win over Tampa Bay, the top offensive team in the NHL. Goalie Keith Kinkaid has taken advantage of his opportunity with No. 1 netminder Cory Schneider in and out of the lineup due to injuries, going 6-1-0 in his last seven starts. New Jersey is on an 11-5 run UNDER the total and when these teams clash the UNDER is 11-2-4. Back the UNDER.
