The set-up: Carolina is one of the most complete teams in the NHL and I think it has a legitimate shot at pulling off a few big upsets. Nashville finished ranked 21st in goals per game, and 12th in goals allowed per game.

The pick: carolina ranked 11th in goals per game and fifth on the defensive end. Carolina is also 6-1 in its last seven at ahome and 7-1 in its last eight in this series on home ice. The Preds are just 2-4 their last six on the road. I'm banking on a big home win here.

This is a 10* PUCK-LINE GAME OF THE WEEK on the Hurricanes.
