The current betting odds have the Hurricanes listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hurricanes have looked great in their games this season with their 6-1-0 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the East. They have also been a great road team to start the season with their 4-1-0 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Stars haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-3-1 record overall which has them right near the bottom of their division in the West. They haven't looked that great on home ice either with their 1-2-1 home record this season. They are off a tough 3-2 loss in OT to the Kings in their last one and they have been in a big slump lately. They were one of the best teams in the entire NHL last season, also starting this season 3-0-0, but they have lost 4 games in a row now and have been giving up a ton of goals. The Hurricanes have been rolling lately, off a 5-4 win over the Avalanche in their last one, and they have been scoring a ton of goals lately. The Hurricanes are rolling right now and they are going to score goals with the way this Stars defense has been playing, and the Hurricanes also have one of the best defenses in the NHL right now to lean on too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Hurricanes to win this game.

“[Andersen] was the reason we got two points, for sure. I don't think we've ever given up that many shots and Grade-A chances. It wasn't even the shots, it was the great scoring chances. He was phenomenal, and then even in the shootout. So, he got us the two points.” - Rod Brind’Amour after his team’s win against the Avalanche in their game on Thursday.

“We were good in all the departments except the one, the most important one. Our power play looked good, it was dangerous. We gave up another PK goal early. Five-on-five we’ve got to find some scoring there. We had a lot of chances there. We outchanced them heavily 5-on-5. We’ve got to find the back of the net. Sometimes the results lag. Coaches can go to bed at night looking at games like this and go, ‘Okay, we’re moving in the right direction.’” - Glen Gulutzan after his team’s loss against the LA Kings in their game on Thursday.
