Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh has no problem coping with the teams that last season in the playoffs did not get into the playoffs. Thus, the Penguins earned points in matches with Detroit (6:3), Montreal (6:3) and Buffalo (6:5). In the other two meetings they met with worthy opponents, from which they suffered setbacks - 0:6 from the Rangers and 2:5 from Toronto. Thus, the Penguins are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference table with six points.

Carolina held meetings - only two. Of course, you can't go far with such a number, but the team got plenty of rest. In the first game, the Hurricanes were weaker than Tampa Bay with a score of 1:4, and then they managed to beat New Jersey by two goals (4:2). As a consequence, the Hurricanes are not doing well in the East table. At the moment, they are penultimate with two points.

Here we are more inclined to the success of Carolina. The Hurricanes rested too much, as a result of which they need to get back on track. Pittsburgh though has been performing well lately, but in games against strong opponents often loses. So the Hurricanes have a good chance to win this game, and they've been stronger in seven of the last ten head-to-head meetings. In general, with reinsurance we'll bet on the final victory of the guests at a good rate.
