Hurricanes vs. Predators Preview
The Predators host the Hurricanes on Wednesday night in a matchup that looks lopsided on paper but may be tighter than the standings suggest.
Carolina enters at 21-9-2, good for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division, and arrives riding a four-game winning streak.
The Hurricanes have taken seven of their last 10 games, with Seth Jarvis leading the way offensively with 18 goals and eight assists.
Nashville comes in at 13-15-4 and sits at the bottom of the Central Division with 30 points. Despite the slow start, the Predators have begun to turn a corner.
They’ve won seven of their last 10 games, and with plenty of season still ahead, this stretch feels more like a correction than a fluke.
Leg 1: Predators +1.5
This is a spot where backing the home underdog makes sense.
Nashville is playing its best hockey of the season and has been far more competitive than its overall record indicates.
With the Predators trending in the right direction, grabbing the extra goal and a half provides solid protection in what should be a competitive home effort.
Leg 2: Luke Evangelista 2+ Shots on Goal
Our Action PRO Report points us toward Evangelista in this spot.
The Toronto native has cleared this number in eight of his last 14 games, and his usage continues to support consistent shot volume.
The projection sits at 2.1 shots on goal, making this a clean and data-backed way to round out the parlay.
