The Hurricanes are moderately favored in this second showdown with the Blues, coming in with a moneyline at -195.

The Hurricanes seek to extend their three-game winning streak and have won four out of their last five games. Their latest successful encounter was a 4-1 showing over the Boston Bruins, which marked their fourth time in this stretch where they won by two or more goals.

Their success has been in both home and away locations. They are currently second in the Metropolitan Division and are 23-12-3 on the road, which bodes well for their chances of winning.
