Location: PNC Arena, Raleigh, NC
TV: ESPN+

Previous Games:

  • Maple Leafs: Beat Tampa Bay in OT

  • Hurricanes: Lost 4 straight, most recently vs. Washington

Head-to-Head:

The season series is tied 1-1, with each team winning at home. Carolina will aim to protect home ice again and bounce back after a rare losing streak.

Toronto Maple Leafs Breakdown:

Toronto has been strong down the stretch, winning 4 of their last 5 games and putting up 3.4 goals per game over their last 10. The offense remains lethal with Nylander and Marner both producing consistently. However, their road performances haven’t been as sharp, and they now face a desperate Hurricanes team in one of the toughest road environments in hockey.

Key Players:

  • William Nylander: 44 goals, 96 points

  • Mitchell Marner: 5 goals, 10 assists in last 10

Carolina Hurricanes Breakdown:

Despite the 4-game slide, the Hurricanes are 20-5 in their last 25 home games and have one of the league’s best defensive units. They’ve allowed just 2.7 goals per game on the season and tend to tighten up on home ice. With the playoffs approaching, this is a perfect spot for a bounce-back, especially with the Leafs coming off a tough OT game and likely to rotate goalies.

Key Players:

  • Sebastian Aho: 73 points

  • Seth Jarvis: 5 goals, 9 assists in last 10

Betting Trends:

Toronto Maple Leafs:

  • 1-5 in their last 6 games at Carolina

  • 7-2-1 in their last 10 overall

Carolina Hurricanes:

  • 20-5 in their last 25 at home

  • 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. Eastern Conference

  • UNDER has hit in 6 of last 9 games

Exact Score Prediction:

Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Toronto Maple Leafs 2

Our Best Bet:

Carolina Hurricanes ML (-120)

This is a classic bounce-back spot for a strong home team with playoff seeding on the line. The Hurricanes have dominated at PNC Arena, and facing a Maple Leafs team that just played an emotional OT win, Carolina should come in rested, focused, and ready to snap their losing streak. With one of the league’s best home records and a top-tier blue line, we like the Canes to take care of business tonight.
