Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 matchups, the Carolina Hurricanes have dominated with an 8-2 record against the Utah Hockey Club. However, Utah's recent 4-1 victory in their last meeting shows they are capable of pulling off an upset. The Hurricanes will look to bounce back and reassert their dominance in this series.

Pick: Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline (-250)

The Carolina Hurricanes are the clear favorites in this matchup, especially given their strong home record and superior scoring ability. While Utah has shown flashes of competitiveness, Carolina's depth and home-ice advantage make them the safer pick. The Hurricanes' recent losing streak adds urgency to their performance, and they will likely come out strong to secure a much-needed win.

Top Player Prop Picks

Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 Assists

Sebastian Aho has been a key playmaker for the Hurricanes, with 34 assists this season. He has been consistent in creating scoring opportunities, and with Utah's defensive vulnerabilities, Aho is well-positioned to record at least one assist in this game.

Nick Bjugstad Over 0.5 Goals

Nick Bjugstad scored twice in the last meeting between these teams and has been a reliable scorer for Utah. With his confidence against Carolina, he is a strong candidate to find the back of the net again.

Clayton Keller Over 1.5 Points

Clayton Keller has been on fire recently, with four goals and nine assists in his last 10 games. His offensive production has been critical for Utah, and he is likely to contribute multiple points in this matchup.
