Carolina Hurricanes

NHLNext: at Blackhawks, Sat7 predictions

Upcoming games

The Hurricanes went 53-29 in 2025-26, yet only 33 of those 82 games ended as puck-line covers, 13 of them at home. Backing Carolina to win outright was the better ticket: 3.31 units up over the season.

The record and the puck line disagree

Only the Avalanche finished 2025-26 with a better record than Carolina’s 53-29, and only Colorado scored more than the Hurricanes’ 3.61 goals a game. Laying -1.5 on them was another matter. They were favored in 74 games and covered 27 of those; across all 82 the count was 33. In their eight games as underdogs, at +1.5, they covered six.

Home ice cost us

At home they won 29 of 41 and covered 13. Three NHL teams covered less often at home: Dallas, New Jersey and Los Angeles. On the road the split was 20 covers in 41. Their three shortest-priced defeats were all home games: San Jose won 4-1 with Carolina at -340, Chicago 4-3 in a shootout at -298, St. Louis 3-1 at -290.

The moneyline did pay

A unit on Carolina in every game finished 3.31 up, 2.47 of it from the 74 games as favorites. On that favorite measure only Boston, Philadelphia and Calgary returned more. The Hurricanes were underdogs just eight times, fewer than anyone but Colorado. The profit came at the two ends: February and April went 11-2 for 5.31 units, while November and December lost 2.68 and covered the puck line 8 times in 29.

Montreal had their number

New Jersey was the friendliest opponent: four meetings, four wins, four covers, 2.75 units. The Canadiens were the reverse, 3-0 against Carolina with no Hurricanes cover and three units lost. Against Philadelphia and Pittsburgh they won three of four each time yet covered once in each set.

No lean on the total

Forty-five of their 82 games went over. Seven teams had a higher over rate, which leaves Carolina totals without a lean for us.
