Carolina Hurricanes vs. Seattle Kraken: Pick
Injuries to Jake Gardiner and Max Pacioretty have put a dent in Seattle's defense and the offense. They are already behind in the season, and facing a team like Carolina could turn into a nightmare. The Hurricanes will arrive in full confidence and style to finish off the game and keep the winning momentum going forward.

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Seattle Kraken: Prediction
The way last season ended for Carolina, it looked like they had a vision. They will try to carry forward the same vision this season by going as far as possible in the post-season, possibly playing the Stanley Cup. The team has even started on an authoritative note, showcasing their talent. Even if Seattle is playing at home, it will be a big upset if they manage to beat the Hurricanes. However, the possibility of it happening is highly unlikely.
Prediction: Carolina Hurricanes Total Team Goals Over 4.5 (+235)
