Canes Favored in Tuesday NHL Odds

Oddsmakers are projecting a home win for the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL odds on Tuesday. Sportsbooks have the Canes priced at -155 on the moneyline, while the Rangers come back as the +130 underdogs.

The Hurricanes have won three straight games, while the Rangers have strung together two consecutive victories. The Canes last took the ice Sunday night against Calgary, meaning they will hold a rest advantage Tuesday. The Rangers were in action Monday night vs New Jersey.

NYR vs CAR Head-to-Head Stats

These two teams are fairly evenly matched on paper, although the Canes have been a vastly superior possession team, per the advanced metrics. In the last meeting on January 2nd at Madison Square Garden, the Hurricanes won 6-1 thanks to a pair of goals from Andrei Svechnikov.

Two of the top Rangers’ defensemen, who did play in the first meeting, could be unavailable Tuesday. Jacob Trouba (lower body) has been ruled out until late March, while former Norris winner Adam Fox is dealing with an illness and is questionable to play.

Jake Guentzel Could Debut for Canes

Carolina could get another boost Tuesday in the form of former Pittsburgh Penguin Jake Guentzel. Carolina’s prized trade deadline acquisition has been taken off injured reserve and practiced with the team this morning in Raleigh.

Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour said, “There’s a real good possibility” Guentzel returns from injury on Tuesday night. “He’ll take warmup and we’ll see where it goes, but all indications are I think he will,” Brind’Amour added.

Guentzel has been out since February 14th with an upper-body injury, but when he’s been healthy, he has scored 22 goals in 50 games. If Guentzel does play, he’s projected to skate on the second line with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Martin Necas.

Rangers vs Hurricanes Prediction

Online sports betting in North Carolina couldn’t have launched at a better time, as we love the value on Carolina in this spot. Since the calendar flipped over to February, no team has a better xGF% than the Canes (58.31%).

The Rangers are near the bottom of the league in that department (41.63 xGF%), meaning goaltending has played a vital role for them. Unfortunately, Shesterkin’s .902 career save percentage against Carolina is among his lowest percentages against any team.

Jonathan Quick got the call Monday against the Devils, meaning Shesterkin will face the team that lit him up for six goals on 27 shots last time out. Both Carolina goalies, Pyotr Kochetkov (.914 sv%) and Freddie Andersen (.904 sv%), have strong track records against the Rangers.

Even though the Rangers have a four-point lead on the Canes in the NHL Playoff Bracket, oddsmakers have set Carolina as significant home favorites. This tells us oddsmakers are quite confident in this team Tuesday, as the public may like the value of New York as underdogs.

We’re backing Carolina at -155 odds, as they hold the rest advantage and are excellent on home ice (21-8-4). Expect some potential sharp action on the Canes, especially if Fox doesn’t play, so bet this line before it shortens.
