T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes.

I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The Hurricanes just lost their most recent game and that ended a run of 3 wins that they had strung together. They were looking great in their games until getting stopped by the Devils on Saturday losing that game 7-4. They let in a lot of goals in that game and I expect them to play better on defense in this game since Vegas can score goals and the Hurricanes will be looking to get that game back that they lost. The Hurricanes have been great at home this year and I think they are going to smack the Knights around here. Vegas just played their 1st road game in January the previous night after playing 8 games in a row at home. They are dealing with a lot of their players in covid protocol right now and they don't have their team at full strength here. This is also a B2B game for them and I think they are going to be a bit tired from that. They haven't really looked good in their games lately, they have won 2 games in a row but 1 was against the Canadiens at home who are the worst team in the league but they needed OT just to get by, and then their most recent game was a win on the road against the capitals that they scraped out 1-0. I think their good fortune has come to an end here though and I expect their injuries and absences from their lineup to start catching up to them. The Knights should have lost in Washington last night but they will definitely be taken down by the hot Hurricanes here. The Hurricanes have looked much better in their games lately and will be looking to bounce back after a bad loss in New Jersey. I like the Hurricanes to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes.
