First-place Carolina is seventh in the league in goals scored and leads the league in shots per game (42.3). The Hurricanes have won six of the last seven when playing on one day of rest. Carolina has scored five goals or more three times on the young season and has fired no fewer than 33 shots on goal. In the past two games, the Hurricanes have combined for 100 shots on goal. They are an underdog to a Tampa Bay squad that is #14 in goals scored. Two games ago they were a minus-300 home favorite over Vancouver and lost 4-1. The team comes off a blowout win, but is 1-4 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. Tampa Bay is also 21-38 against starting goalies that have an 88 save percentage or worse. Take Carolina.
