Hurricanes vs Red Wings Predictions and Picks
"Both teams have almost the same number of points and overall wins this season, while Detroit has more home wins than Carolina has on the road. They have both been in good form lately, with three and four consecutive wins, so the Canes are definitely being overvalued in this spot .... I will have to take a stab with the Red Wings as home dogs in this matchup." — Nikos Lagouretos, PickDawgz
"Both of these teams come into this matchup leading their respective divisions, so this should be a great game to watch .... Carolina has won four games in a row, and they have allowed two goals or fewer in three of those games. Detroit has won three in a row, and they have scored 14 goals during that span. I think either team can win this game, but with Detroit playing very well on home ice plus Gibson being an elite goalie over the last few weeks, I like Detroit here." — David Racey, Sports Chat Place
"In a Metro vs Atlantic leader matchup, the Hurricanes are facing the Red Wings in what should be one of the marquee matches on Monday. The Red Wings are outmatched in this game as Carolina is putting in 3.36 goals per game, and the Red Wings counter with only 3.11 goals per game. Defensively, the game is a little more competitive, but it tilts slightly to Carolina as well, with 2.96 goals allowed versus the 3.04 from Detroit. In this game, though, and playing on home ice, I see the Red Wings pulling out the win." — Kim Smith, Winners and Whiners
