Hockey Betting - Hurricanes at Penguins Hockey Betting Odds

The Pittsburgh Penguins will try and make it two straight over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night at 7:35pm EST on TSN in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Penguins got a 3-2 win in hockey betting odds for Game 1 on Monday. The Hurricanes were able to shutdown Sidney Crosby but they still couldn’t get a win.

"I thought the Cullen line played pretty good and I thought he made a good adjustment in making sure those guys stayed off the score sheet," Carolina coach Paul Maurice said.

Thursday’s game is a huge one for Carolina since teams taking a 2-0 lead in the playoffs win more than 80% of the time. Carolina is also dealing with injuries as Tuomo Ruutu and Erik Cole missed practice on Wednesday and both are probably out on Thursday.

Hockey betting odds at SBGGlobal have the Penguins -185 favorites at home in hockey odds against the Hurricanes +165 with a betting total of 5.5 UNDER -125 for Game 2.

The Hurricanes really need Game 2 but Maurice is not saying they will automatically get it.

"It's not like we've played 15 games, lost them all, and come back and won the next one," Maurice said. "That is a small sample we are talking about. I think that what we have done over our first two series is we've learned as we went. Just found smarter and better ways to play the game based on what we had learned in Game 1."

Pittsburgh head coach Dan Bylsma knows that Carolina will play well on Thursday.

"Out of all the teams, this is probably the best team at knowing their game, playing their game and doing it over and over again with hard work," Bylsma said.

"They play their game and they're very disciplined in how they play their game. That's how they've become resilient and that's how they've come back in series."
