4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Under
Look for the under to be the strong play in this matchup as the Hurricanes will put up just enough goals in which to allow them to pick up a slim, 3-1 victory over a Maple Leafs squad that has really been difficult to figure out lately. It is for this reason that the Hurricanes will certainly be provided some extra wiggle room from the Canadiens in maintaining their wild card spot.
NHL Free Score Prediction: Hurricanes 3 – Maple Leafs 1
While the maple Leafs will certainly be looking to pick up a win in this contest, look for the Hurricanes to neutralize their offense just enough in which to be victorious on Tuesday night. Toronto has dropped three of their last five games at home and will do so in this matchup as well as the Hurricanes will prevail in the end.
