The Carolina Hurricanes will look to keep the good times going when they face the Nashville Predators at 7 p.m. EST on Wednesday. The Hurricanes have won four straight games, pushing their record to 21-9-2, the second-best mark in the NHL. The Predators have been on a little run of their own, winning five of their last seven, but are still below .500, posting a 13-15-4 record.
While Carolina's offense has largely been a decent attack, the defense is where the real money has been made. Only one opponent in their last five games has scored more than three goals, allowing the 'Canes to escape with some low-scoring victories. Remarkably, their save percentage sits towards the bottom of the league, but their defenders have been excellent at preventing opposing players from even getting shots off, tying for first in the NHL in shots allowed. The Predators are an unreliable offense at best, opening the door for another good performance for the Hurricanes.
"Unreliable" might be a generous term in describing Nashville's attack. The Predators rank in the bottom 10 in the league in goals per game, points, assists, and power play percentage. Center Ryan O'Reilly leads the team in points with a mere 26, indicating just how poorly the offense has played throughout the season. The defense has also had its struggles, ranking 27th in goals allowed per game, but the ability to score is the main concern in this contest. The Hurricanes have been the best defensive team in the NHL, making this a daunting task for the Predators, even on their home ice.

Hurricanes vs Predators Prediction and Pick
This is a pretty obvious pick, but the lines have been adjusted accordingly. Both of these teams struggle to score with any sort of consistency, with the Predators being actively bad on offense. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have an excellent defense, raising the likelihood that Nashville fails to score even a single goal. That means the under is the obvious pick, as the Hurricanes have scored more than five goals in a game once in the last couple of weeks. While the price is slightly undesirable, the likelihood of a winning bet makes it worth it in this instance. Taking the 'Canes to win and cover is also a decent option.
