This semifinal series between the Devils and Hurricanes has featured four blowouts in four games, with Carolina prevailing in three of them. New Jersey should keep things tight in an elimination game, but our NHL betting picks still prefer the Canes.
Both the Devils and the Hurricanes play tremendous defense. In the regular season, Carolina allowed just 2.6 goals per game, second in the NHL, while also checking in No. 2 on the penalty kill at 84.4%. It was also No. 1 in shots against with 26.
For the Devils, they were a respectable No. 8 in goals against , while ranking No. 5 in shots against and No. 4 on the kill . So, naturally, we’ve had the Over cash in all four games, with the winning team scoring at least six goals in each of the past three games.Like we saw on Wednesday night with the Maple Leafs facing elimination, they circled the wagons, played a careful game, sacrificed their bodies and paid the price with their season on the line.
Defense should be the name of the game, and we’ll get our first Under in Game 5. Pair that with a Hurricanes moneyline play for a solid parlay opportunity.The Devils are just 1-6 in the past seven trips to Raleigh. Find more
