Our final game of NHL predictions has the Carolina Hurricanes looking for a split of the season series against the Edmonton Oilers. Brandon Bussi is the projected starter for the Hurricanes, who are 8-1-1 in their previous 10 games. Sebastian Aho is first on the team in assists (38) and points (61).

Tristan Jarry is the expected starter for the Oilers, who are 5-5 in their last 10 games. However, Edmonton rally past the Ottawa Senators in overtime last time out. The Oilers have made some changes and could make more with the trade deadline set to wrap up later today. Connor McDavid is topping the team in goals (35), assists (70), and points (105).

The Oilers have to find a way to stop pucks from getting in the net. However, the Canes are one of the best defensive teams in the league.

Prediciton: Hurricanes win 4-2.
