Carolina is on a 4-1-2 run, including a 2-1 win at Arizona the last game. Carolina is #12 in the NHL in goals allowed and #2 in penalty killing, and are 5-2 playing on one day of rest. San Jose has home ice but is not strong on defense at #18 in goals allowed. They don't get up to play weaker teams with a 5-4 home shootout loss to Edmonton this week, continuing a season-long trend. They've been stunningly ineffective when facing some of the worst teams in the league, going 3-6-3 against Columbus, Buffalo, Florida, Arizona and the Oilers. When these teams meet Carolina is 4-1 and the road team is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Go with Carolina.
