Philadelphia has been focusing more on defense over the last month and it's worked wonders, winning 8 of the last 13. They are also on an 8-2 run UNDER the total. It won't take much to shut down this conservative Carolina offense ranked #28 in goals scored and #19 on the power play. Carolina is 33-14-8 UNDER the total, plus a 41-19-7 run UNDER at home. Carolina has dropped four of six, falling 3-1 at New Jersey on Saturday despite limiting the Devils to 19 shots. Carolina's league-best penalty kill remains strong, allowing three goals on 62 opportunities over the last 26 games (95.2 percent). Carolina is just 5-14 this season in division play and dating back to last season, the Hurricanes are just 7-16 at home vs. division opponents. Take Philly and the UNDER here.
