Carolina vs Columbus. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 26, 2022).

Carolina are in second place in the Eastern Conference, just one point behind the current leader. The Hurricanes are on a three-game winning streak, in the last three outings they beat Nashville (5:3), Pittsburgh (4:3) and Philadelphia (4:3 OT). The Hurricanes have the best defense in the East, but they conceded three goals in each of the last three games. BrindAmour's men lost only four games in regulation at their home arena. 

Columbus are trying to get into the playoffs. Now that Boston are slumping and the Blue Jackets are on top form, this seems like an achievable task. At the moment, Brad Larsen's men are on a four-game winning streak. The Jackets even managed to defeat Toronto (4:3 OT) and Florida (6:3). Columbus have many problems on the defensive and concede a lot, but they have become much more efficient in attack.
