Carolina vs Pittsburgh Prediction: Betting on the Hosts

Prediction for the NHL Carolina Hurricanes vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on January 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Carolina has looked awesome this season. In 42 meetings they managed to gain 26 wins and suffer 16 losses, only nine were in regulation time. Therefore, with 59 points the Hurricanes are leading the Capital One standings occupying second place in the East. Note that after four losses in a row, Carolina defeated Columbus (6-2).

Pittsburgh is in the current campaign as a strong average performer in the Eastern Conference. In 41 games, they have 21 wins and 20 losses. That's why they sit in fifth place in the standings of the Capital One Division with 48 points. Also, after two wins in a row, Pittsburgh lost to Winnipeg by a score of 1-4.

• Carolina has failed four of the last five matches.
• Pittsburgh is averaging 3.26 goals per game.

This time we favor Carolina. The Hurricanes are still second in the East and will be on a roll after their rematch with Columbus. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is unlikely to feel motivated after a 1-4 defeat to Winnipeg. Plus they have a away back-to-back so we suggest betting on a win for the home team.
