Carolina continues to hold its own among the leaders of the Eastern Conference and practically does not allow misfires in recent meetings. The situation is completely different for Winnipeg, which has been unable to achieve victory for a long time and is increasingly failing defensively. The rivals recently met in Canada, where the hurricanes turned out to be stronger, and now they will hold a return match in Raleigh. In our betting tip, we will analyze how seriously the current capabilities of the teams differ, and determine the bid
Command Analysis
Carolina Hurricanes
Carolina defeated Columbus 3-2 in the previous meeting, although it almost lost a fairly comfortable advantage. Thanks to goals from Jordan Martinuk, Logan Stankoven and Mark Jankowski, the hosts led 3-0, but then allowed the opponent to score twice in the third period. This time, we managed to do without extra time, and Pyotr Kochetkov blocked 24 shots and helped the team achieve victory again.
Rod Brindamore's men have won their last three matches, and before the meeting with Columbus, they beat Boston (2:1) and dealt with St. Louis (4:0). Kochetkov is in great shape, starting the season with nine consecutive wins and setting a club record. There are also enough hockey players in the attack who can decide the outcome of the meeting. For example, Stankoven has already scored nine goals, and Nikolai Ehlers has scored seven points in the last five games.
Winnipeg Jets
Eight games without a single win has become a serious problem for Winnipeg. The Canadians can't stop the losing streak in any way, and they have a particularly hard time against opponents with a strong offense. The latest example was the meeting with Florida, which ended in defeat 2:5. Kyle Connor scored in the majority, and Morgan Barron reduced the gap to one goal in the third period, but it was not possible to achieve more. The Panthers regained their advantage quickly enough and calmly brought the match to victory.
Before that, the Jets lost to Tampa (4:6), and again they allowed the opponent too much near their own goal. In just the last three matches, the team has conceded 16 goals, and so far there have been no major improvements. At the same time, Connor continues to score points regularly and already has 11 goals. However, the efforts of one attacker are clearly not enough, especially when the defense regularly makes mistakes.
Carolina now looks much more confident than her opponent in almost all components. The hosts are capable of acting from a position of strength, but if necessary, they can also play by the score, which was well demonstrated by recent meetings with Boston and Columbus. Winnipeg has problems even when the offense creates enough chances. The Canadians make it too easy for their opponents to get into dangerous positions, and against a team like Carolina, such mistakes can turn into another defeat.
An additional advantage of the hosts will be a more convenient calendar. Winnipeg recently played two consecutive matches in Florida and will now continue the away series. In such a situation, it will be difficult for the guests to maintain a high pace throughout all three periods. We expect that Carolina will be able to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses, take the initiative and achieve another victory in front of her fans.
