They are entering this game off a loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning in their last game, losing that one at home 4-1. Jordan Staal scored the only goal for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Hurricanes listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hurricanes have only played in 1 game this season and they lost that game 4-1 to the Lightning. They were one of the best teams in the NHL last season and they have also had one of the best home records in the NHL over the last 3 seasons. Meanwhile, the Devils have looked great in their games this season with their 4-1-0 record overall. They missed the playoffs last year, but they have improved a lot this season and have come out really hot to start the year. As good as they have been, this will be a tough situation for them on a back-to-back and they have also done a lot of traveling this season with their trip to Prague. The Hurricanes are well rested since they haven't played since Friday, but they will also be looking to erase that terrible performance and get their 1st win of the season at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Hurricanes to win this game.

"I am trying to get Lazar and Bastian the simplicity, competitiveness, and direct nature of their game to continue and bring out the best in Palat. I liked what Cotter brought to (Haula's line) when we used them the one night in Prague for Game 2. It is a little bit of trying to get the Haula group going and wanting to give Lazar and Bastian some consistency." - Sheldon Keefe on his team early on into the NHL season.

“I honestly didn’t know what I was watching most of that game.” - Rod Brind’Amour after his team’s loss against the Lightning in their game on Friday.
