Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Look, the Penguins might be playing on home ice, but recent trends suggest it's the Hurricanes who are likely to blow through Pittsburgh this Sunday. The Penguins have been struggling at home, with a disappointing 1-4 record in their last five games. Their offense has been a bit sluggish, averaging just 0.4 goals per game, while their defense is taking a beating, allowing 3 goals on average. On the flip side, the Hurricanes have been storming their way through away games, with a remarkable 4-1 record. And even though their goals per game average isn't exactly stellar at 0.8, it's double that of the Penguins. Pair that with their comparable defense (allowing 3.6 goals per game), and the winds of fortune are favoring the Hurricanes. So, it's the Hurricanes on the Moneyline, folks. Buckle up for a thrilling ride.

Sunday night hockey is upon us, and it's the Pittsburgh Penguins hosting the Carolina Hurricanes. Our man to watch this night is the Penguins' netminder, Stuart Skinner. When you break down Skinner's performance at home, it's easy to understand why we're targeting the Under in his Total Saves market. In his last five home starts, Skinner's averaged a modest 22.8 saves, with incoming shots averaging just 25.4 per game. Couple that with an average of 2.6 goals against, and Skinner's hardly been breaking a sweat at home. Plus, he's delivered on this Under bet in nine out of his last 13 home games. Sure, Skinner's overall save numbers might be slightly higher, but remember, we’re focusing on his home performance. The Hurricanes have their work cut out for them trying to penetrate the Penguins' defensive wall. So, in Skinner we trust to keep those saves under 26.5.
