Next Thursday night will bring a fantastic opportunity for the Carolina Hurricanes to regain the top spot of the Eastern Conference, as they will face the Anaheim Ducks, which is a team that lost all the momentum they built by the beginning of the regular season. However, the Hurricanes should significantly improve their offensive performance, as they have scored more than three goals in only two of their last five games.
Despite this, the Carolina Hurricanes were able to defeat two very competitive teams like the Dallas Stars and the New Jersey Devils, but it shouldn’t be ignored that not winning this game would most likely take them down to the third spot in the Eastern Conference’s standings. To avoid that scenario, Logan Stankoven and Nikolaj Ehlers are expected to keep earning points just like they did during the last two Hurricanes’ games.
Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks currently are one of the three Western Conference teams that haven’t been able to win any of their last five games, but due to the great job they did at the beginning of the season, they still are tied with teams like the Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks. Nevertheless, it’s notable that Leo Carlsson hasn’t been able to recover his offensive impact for the Ducks after the injury he suffered in December.

Our Carolina Hurricanes vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction
As can be seen, these teams have delivered very even games during their most recent confrontations in Raleigh, but both teams’ momentum suggests that the Carolina Hurricanes will be able to secure their third victory in a row.
In conclusion, the Anaheim Ducks aren’t expected to recover the offensive identity that allowed them to sit in fourth place in the Western Conference one month ago. That said, the Carolina Hurricanes should try to take an early lead to take the Ducks’ motivation down from the beginning of the game. Therefore, the pick for the Anaheim Ducks – Carolina Hurricanes is: 60 Min Line – CAR Hurricanes & Total CAR Hurricanes Goals in the 2nd Period – Over 1.5!
