St. Louis had an early lead of two goals, but Carolina replied with three consecutive goals. Carolina improved to 8-3-4 on the road with the win, and they are 3-0-3 in their previous six road games.
A streak of three straight games in which Carolina goaltenders only allowed two goals was broken by the four goals allowed versus St. Louis. Carolina is seventh in goals allowed per game because of the great trio of Pyotr Kochetkov (7-4-4, 2.30,.916), Antti Raanta (4-2-2, 2.62,.894), and Frederik Andersen (5-3-0, 2.72,.891).

Jonathan Quick (8-6-2, 3.28,.889) has allowed 17 goals in his previous five games.
Hurricanes vs Kings Betting Prediction
It is unexpected that Carolina will begin this competition as a little underdog. Los Angeles has been mediocre at home lately, while Carolina has been excellent on the road recently, scoring in six straight games.
Quick will start and has recently experienced difficulties. The goalkeeper has allowed 23 goals in his last six games, including at least three in five of those games. That will unquestionably make a difference in this competition. Tonight at home, Carolina should prevail in the match.
Pick: Carolina -130
