Hurricanes vs. Penguins Best Bets
Thursday, December 22, 2022 - 7:00PM ET
PICK: Hurricanes at Penguins Under 6 (-113)
The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Carolina Hurricanes in a Metropolitan Division clash tonight at PPG Paints Arena.
The Surging Canes have won 6 in a row and 9 of their last 10 to overtake the New Jersey Devils for the top spot in the division. The Penguins are also streaking as they have won 8 of the last 10 games and currently sit in 3rd place in the Metro.
Both of these teams are defensive minded clubs and both have gotten fantastic goaltending. Carolina Rookie Pytor Kochetkov has dazzled this season.
Kochetkov, who is filling in for an injured Freddy Andersen, is 10-1-4 with 1.94 goals against average and a .928 save percentage with 3 shutouts.
Carolina, as a team is 11-20 to the under this season as they are allowing 2.5 goals per game. On the road, the Canes are 7-11 to the under, where they are allowing 2.4 goals per game.Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry is also having a fine season as he is 15-3-3 with a 2.60 goals against average and a .922 save percentage to go along with 1 shutout.
The Penguins are 13-17 to the under this season as they are allowing 2.8 goals per game. At home the Pens are 7-9 to the under, allowing 2.4 goals per game. This is the 3rd meeting of the season between these clubs with the Canes taking both games by scores of 3-2.
The series history trends to the under, which is 7-2-1 over the last 10 meetings. This is an important divisional matchup and goals should be at a premium so I'll ride with the under 6 here.
Bet Hurricanes at Penguins Under 6 (-113) BetMGM.
