I considered the Devils and the huge plus money, as they’ve been on a tear over the last two weeks. However, it’s too little too late for the Devils and eventually that reality will settle in. The Hurricanes are the better team, at home, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 games against the Devils. Most of those games haven’t been close. The Canes have been sharp at home all season. This is all about backing the better team and expecting the lesser team to come back to reality after a heater of a month. Give me the Canes and the PL for max betting value.
