The current betting odds have the Hurricanes listed as a pick 'em in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hurricanes have looked great in their games this season with their 51-22-6 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the East with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have been a good road team too with their 22-12-4 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Mammoth have looked good in their games this season with their 42-30-6 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the West. They have looked good on home ice too with their 21-14-3 home record this season. The Mammoth have been rolling in their games lately, going 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 5 wins in a row now. They just clinched a playoff spot and they can't really move up in their division. They will be looking to fend off the team in the 2nd Wild Card with a 5 point lead over them, but their opponent still has something to play for too. The Hurricanes have also been red hot lately as they are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and have won 2 games in a row now. They have clinched the top spot in their division already, but they are still fighting for the 1 seed in the East which is going to be important. The Hurricanes have a chance to make the entire Eastern Conference run through Carolina this year, so they are going to bring their best effort here to stay hot. As good as the Mammoth have looked lately, they still don't have the kind of talent that the Hurricanes have and this is great value for one of the best teams in the NHL who still has something to play for. The best way to place a bet here is on the Hurricanes to win this game.

“You have to kind of know your people. They fit perfectly. They know how to play. They know how we play. Obviously, they’re not replacing the guys we had out, but it helps when you have guys who know what they’re doing. I thought they did a great job. It’s not the easiest thing to throw all of them in, but I thought they did a great job on the (penalty) kill. Everywhere we had to put them in, there was no, ‘Uh, oh, they’re on the ice,’ type of thing. Kudos to those guys.” - Rod Brind’Amour after his team’s win against the Blackhawks in their game on Thursday. 

“I think we have a very good team. The guys are getting older, more mature, and they learn from what happens. The GM does a great job to improve the team every year. It's easy now to look back and see we started from scratch. It's a privilege when you start the process where you start. It's not every time you have that much runway, so I feel fortunate and try to keep improving every year for the next.” - Andre Tourigny after his team’s win against the Predators in their game on Thursday.
