Carolina Hurricanes Hockey Odds at SBG Global

Last season was thought of as a failure in Carolina in terms of hockey betting odds. The Hurricanes were brutal down the stretch and failed to make the playoffs.

Hockey odds information shows that the Hurricanes added defensemen Joni Pitkanen and Josef Melichar as well as forward Darcy Hordichuk. The team lost goalie John Grahame, forward Erik Cole and defensemen Glen Wesley and Keith Aucoin according to hockey odds information. What really hurt the Hurricanes last season was the injury to captain Rod Brind’Amour. The team gets Brind’Amour back this season healthy and he can lead a solid group of forwards including a rejuvenated Sergei Samsonov and Tuomo Ruutu. Goaltender Cam Ward can impact hockey odds on a regular basis. Picking up Matt Cullen and Patrick Eaves last season should also help their depth according to hockey betting odds experts.

The problem for Carolina according to hockey betting odds experts is depth. They have enough top players to make an impact in hockey odds but an injury to any top player is a huge problem. Just look in goal where the backup is Michael Leighton according to hockey odds information. Losing Erik Cole looks like a big loss for the Hurricanes but he was always hurt anyway and getting Joni Pitkanen looks like a good move according to hockey odds experts. He should give the Hurricanes a solid group of defensemen that includes Frantisek Kaberle, David Tanabe, Joe Corvo and Niclas Wallin according to hockey betting odds experts.

A big key for Carolina according to hockey odds experts is Sergei Samsonov. He shocked the hockey world last season with 32 points in 38 games with Carolina according to hockey odds stats. He was sent to the minors in Chicago and was on waivers before Carolina picked him up. If he can continue his strong play from a year ago then Carolina could impact hockey odds.

Carolina could be a hockey odds factor in the Southeast Division this season and making the playoffs is definitely a possibility.
