The Carolina Hurricanes are a ‘dark-horse’ candidate to win the Stanley Cup this season. They are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference but have a chance to climb one spot higher with a win over the Jets who only have theoretical chances of reaching the playoffs.
The Hurricanes are the second-best defence in the league allowing only 2.4 goals per game and have been dominating the Jets in the past couple of years. Carolina is coming onto this game after a two-day rest and has won 5 of the last 6 games in that situation.
The Jets have slot 5 of the last 7 games against Eastern Conference opponents and 20 of the last 28 games against teams with a winning record. All of this goes in favour of the Hurricanes who will as another one in the winning column tonight.
