CAR Hurricanes vs TOR Maple Leafs Prediction: expect a draw

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 10. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The team cannot boast of stability in 2025. In five extreme meetings Carolina recorded two wins and suffered three defeats, and the results are alternating. The Hurricanes fell at the hands of Florida by a score of 3:1 and Pittsburgh by a score of 4:3 (OT). The Hurricanes did not have enough strength for the matches with Columbus, Minnesota and Tampa.

In the Eastern Conference table, Carolina claims a place in the top three, currently sitting in fifth position with 50 points. The Hurricanes are three points short of third place New Jersey.

On the eve of the new year, Toronto was able to defeat the Islanders with a score of 3:1, after which his winning streak began. Already in 2025, the Leafs recorded four victories in a row, upsetting the Islanders (2:1), Boston (6:4) and Philadelphia twice (3:2 OT and 3:2). Thus, the position of Craig Berube's team in the Eastern Conference table has significantly improved. They moved up to the second position and have only two points less than the first Washington.

Bookmaker analysts have written off Toronto, which we do not recommend. The Maple Leafs are in gorgeous condition for the upcoming fight, which can not be said about Carolina. In our opinion, a bet on goals, or rather on their absence, will play perfectly here.
