The Kings will be led by their captain Anze Kopitar and top goalscorer Austin Wagner. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are guided by Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov. Key players for the Hurricanes will also include Jordan Staal and Jaccob Slavin.

The Kings have not won in Raleigh since November of 2012 but the current form of both teams suggest that this could be a close one. Looking at both team’s records, we predict that the Hurricanes will come out on top.

In what should be an exciting match-up between two competitive teams, the Hurricanes have a slight edge with home court advantage. Carolina’s defence has been much better than Los Angeles’ this season, and it will be a key factor in the game. Predictions favour the Hurricanes to take the victory in this one.

Regardless of who comes out on top, we can expect a high-energy and action-packed game with two of hockey’s best teams clashing. Don’t miss out on this one!
