The Red Wings come into this game with a 28-35-10 record overall and away from home they have gone 10-21-3. The Red Wings have lost two games in a row and in the last game against the Ottawa Senators the offense really struggled only scoring one goal.
Overall this season Detroit is averaging 2.84 goals per game while their defense is giving up 3.82 goals per game. The offense isn’t great but the defense is even worse and they are ranked 32nd in the league.
Dylan Larkin has been the top player for the Red Wings this season scoring 31 goals and adding 37 assists. Lucas Raymond has also been good scoring 22 goals and adding 33 assists.

Free Detroit Red Wings vs. Carolina Hurricanes NHL Prediction:
Every trend points to the over and I expect that is going to be the case in this game. The Hurricanes are an elite offensive team and they are going to attack the weak defense of the Hurricanes. I also expect the Red Wings are going to score two or three goals and this game is going to go over the total.
