Money Line Pick for Maple Leafs vs. Hurricanes

• Carolina Hurricanes ML (4 Units)

The Hurricanes have won three of their last five home games, while the Maple Leafs have won three of their last five road games. Carolina has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively and scored six goals in their last two home games. They haven’t been as good on special teams, converting over 13 percent of their power play chances. The Hurricanes aren’t great at killing penalties, and they’re not playing as well defensively, giving up seven goals in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Hurricanes. Go with Carolina on the money line.
