Carolina comes into this one as a slight road favorite on the moneyline and the model sees a clear 4.3% edge. It is rare to get the league's second best offense at essentially even money. The Hurricanes are putting up 3.5 goals per game and their defense is just as stingy, ranking 7th while allowing only 2.9. Vegas is a solid team but they sit right in the middle of the pack at 13th for both goals scored and goals allowed. The Golden Knights have a three game win streak going and have actually taken three of the four matchups against Carolina this season. That is exactly why we are getting such a good price on the Hurricanes. But the model looks at the full body of work rather than just a few head to head games. Carolina covers the spread in 62% of their road games. That is an elite number. They don't care about the noise in the desert. Vegas scores 3.2 goals per game but they are facing a defensive unit that is much more disciplined than what they have seen recently. The Hurricanes have the depth to roll four lines and keep the pressure on. And when you have the number two offense against the number thirteen defense, you take the better team every time. It is a simple math play.

Casual bettors are falling for the Vegas win streak and their head to head record this season. They think the Golden Knights have some sort of mental edge. We are ignoring that noise and sticking to the season long metrics that favor Carolina.
