Red Wings vs Hurricanes Prediction
The Hurricanes are coming into this game as a massive favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing much better in their recent games winning 3 of their last 4 and they are at home here where they have been their best all season long. They are going up against a Red Wings side that has had an awful season and has not even been playing well recently with 2 straight losses and coming off of a bad one at home by 3 goals to the Senators who have been equally as bad this season. The Hurricanes just held off the Rangers in their own building and the Rangers are the 2nd best team in their division behind the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes will be too much for the Red Wings to handle here at home and the Hurricanes are going to win this game 2 or more goals.
Red Wings Hurricanes Prediction: Our NHL Pick for Thursday, April 14, 2022 (7:00 pm ET start time) is Hurricanes 6 Red Wings 2.

Notable Quotes
“We had our chances. They pressure extremely hard. ... You don’t have sustained time, but you’re gonna get big looks. I think we had those a lot, and in some cases we missed, and in some cases we didn’t shoot.” - Jeff Blashill on his team’s loss against the Senators on Tuesday night.
“That was the game in a nutshell. They score on one of those and it's a totally different game." - Rod Brind’Amour on his team’s win against the Rangers on Tuesday night.
