Blue Jackets vs. Hurricanes Preview
The Blue Jackets (5-5-0) have won two in a row, knocking off the Golden Knights and Flyers. But this is still a team that is averaging only 2.5 goals per game, which is 28th in the NHL. That's what makes this spot against the Hurricanes (10-2-2) so tough.
Carolina has been on fire lately, going 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. They have allowed a combined one goal in their last two. Facing a Blue Jackets team that has a tough time finding the back of the net, this feels like another low-scoring game.
The Canes are allowing the fewest shots on goal in the NHL, making this look like the ideal game environment for Under 6.5.
Best Bet: Under 6.5 (-130)
