BookMaker has the Carolina Hurricanes listed as -145 moneyline favorites on the road against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night. Carolina has won three of the four games all-time including the previous three matchups in a row. The Hurricanes have won by an average margin of 1.25 goals per game all-time and 2 goals per game over the last three meetings in the series.

Seattle has struggled this season as they have been one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league averaging .75 goals per game and things won’t be any easier when they host one of the best teams in the NHL, the Carolina Hurricanes, on Thursday night. The Hurricanes have dominated the series winning three of the four games all-time including the last three meetings. I look for Carolina to make it four wins in a row when they travel to face Seattle on Thursday night which is why I am taking the money line for the Hurricanes at -145 on the road against the Kraken.
