Hurricanes vs Blues Over/Under Pick: Under 6
There is more value with the over, but these teams keep the score down most nights. Carolina is likely to have Frederik Andersen (12-2-0, .931 save percentage) in goal while St. Louis counters with Jordan Binnington (28-20-4, .911).
Hurricanes vs Blues ATS Pick: Blues +1½
We’re expecting a low-scoring, one-goal game if you bet online. The worry is if the Blues fall behind and take too many chances.
Hurricanes vs Blues Moneyline Pick: Hurricanes (-210)
Carolina will have to control Thomas and Jordan Kyrou (seven points, four games), but the Hurricanes have met most challenges this season. Carolina is just a better team and, with the chance to get home ice throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs still possible, expect the Hurricanes to be focused.
