The Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes meet Tuesday in NHL action at the PNC Arena. The Vegas Golden Knights look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Carolina Hurricanes look for a win after winning eight of their last 11 games.

Jonathan Marchessault leads Vegas with 19 goals, Chandler Stephenson has 26 assists and Reilly Smith has 110 shots on goal.

The Golden Knights are 6-0 in their last 6 road games and 21-5 in their last 26 games playing on 0 days rest. The Hurricanes are 36-16 in their last 52 home games and 27-11 in their last 38 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Golden Knights last 5 overall. The over is 6-2 in Hurricanes last 8 overall. The road team is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

The Carolina Hurricanes should be favored for obvious reasons, as they’ve been far more consistent, they have the rest advantage, and they’re at home. The Vegas Golden Knights are also on the end of a back to back here. With all that said, we’re getting plus money with a wonderful side in Vegas, and there’s always value in that spot. You don’t get the Golden Knights in these price spots often. I’ll take a stab with the road dog.
