This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE TOM on the OVER Hurricanes/Knights.

We have two really good teams here, but each has been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, and I'm expecting those trends to end this evening.

Carolina has seen the total go UNDER in five straight. That's significant for us to note though, as the Hurricanes have seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five after playing to five more straight UNDERS in a row. They're also off a humbling 3-2 loss to Anaheim as a -500 favorite. Look for the Hurricanes to come out flying here tonight.

And look for the Knights to follow suit! Vegas is hungry snap a two-game lostin streak, first falling 3-2 in a shootout to Dallas, before a 3-0 loss at Colorado most recently. Note though that the Knights have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 12 after a shutout road loss in their previous outing.

Look for this faster-paced affair to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
