#55/56 ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 5.5 Goals - Carolina Hurricanes at Dallas Stars, Tuesday at 8:30 PM ET – The Hurricanes are expected to be without 3 defensemen tonight. DeAngelo, Pesce and Bear are all expected to miss this contest due to covid. This certainly is impacting to the Hurricanes in their own end of the ice in particular and the Stars will look to take advantage. Dallas is known more for defense but the Canes might be the best team in the league in terms of forechecking and Carolina is going to score well here (more on that to follow) but the Stars have been scoring well of late too. Dallas has scored 3 or more goals in 9 of 11 games. Carolina has averaged scoring 3.2 goals per game in their dozen road games this season. Off a rare loss, just their fourth in regulation time this season, you know the Hurricanes are going to bring it here in this one! The problem for Carolina is going to be their lack of healthy defensemen but this team is still loaded up front with talent at the wings and center position. Holtby is expected to start between the pipes for Dallas and he just came back from injury and will face a much tougher test here than the did at Arizona Saturday in his first start since he got back. No matter who is goal for the Stars we expect them to face a barrage of shots as Carolina and coach Rod Brind'Amour fired up after they felt a questionable late penalty call changed their end result against the Capitals on Sunday. This Canes team will show no quit on Tuesday night for sure. The last time they were on the road and coming off a loss they scored 6 goals. As you can see per all of the above, plenty of reasons to expect good goal-scoring from both clubs in this one! Take the OVER here
