Top Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes predictions

After 10,000 simulations of Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights, SportsLine’s model is going Over on the total (5.5). The first four games in this series cleared the Over, which was at 5.5 in each contest. That number moved to 6.5 in Game 5, and the teams combined for six goals, but fell short of that higher total. 

Now, with the line back at 5.5, the model is confidently going Over. It gives Seth Jarvis and Sebastian Aho the best chance to score for Carolina, while Mark Stone and Pavel Dorofeyev are the top scorers for Vegas in the simulations. The model is projecting 6.2 total goals as the Over hits with some room to spare. See the model’s Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights predictions at SportsLine.
