Tampa Bay Lightning vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction – 10/11/2024
The Tampa Bay Lightning face the Carolina Hurricanes on October 11, 2024, with the Lightning as +114 underdogs and the Hurricanes as -135 favorites. Initial betting trends show 21% backing the Lightning and 79% favoring the Hurricanes on the moneyline. The total goals line of 6 has seen 28% support for the under and 72% for the over. It's shaping up to be an exciting Lightning vs Hurricanes matchup between these two teams.
This is the season opener for both the Lightning and the Hurricanes, as these teams are both among the last teams to start their respective seasons. Both of these groups have high hopes going into this season, especially the Hurricanes, who are among the favorites to win the Eastern Conference this year. Carolina fell short against the New York Rangers in the second round of the playoffs last year, but they are clearly one of the best teams in the league and have high expectations in their opener here.
Of course, it is worth noting that this was supposed to be the first game of a home-and-home between Tampa Bay and Carolina. But the second game of that series in Tampa has been postponed due to Hurricane Milton. More important than the outcome of this game or how the postponement impacts these teams is the safety of everyone involved and the people in the state of Florida, as that game in Tampa will be held at a later date when it is safe to do so.
Lightning vs Hurricanes Prediction
Our best bet for Lightning vs Hurricanes is for the Carolina Hurricanes to come away with a win on their home ice. The Canes went 27-10-4 on their home rink last season and they should be great there once again in the 2024-25 campaign. Look for the Hurricanes to start their season off with a home victory against a Lightning team that will struggle to stack up against them.
