The Hurricanes pushed the Lightning to the limit in Monday's OT loss in Tampa, and that was against Vezina favorite Andrei Vasilevskiy. However, it's expected to be shaky backup Curtis McElhinney (3-5-1, 3.48) here for the Bolts. Carolina turns to Alex Nedeljkovic. He has a 10-4-2 record, 1.92 GAA, and .930 save percentage in 16 starts this season. We like the underdog value here.

Curtis McElhinney is expected to get the start tonight or the Lightning and he is 3-5-1 this season with a 3.48 GAA and .862 save percentage. He has lost five of his last six games. The Canes are playing well right now and the Lightning have split each of their last five two game series. The Canes backup goalie is much better than the Lightnings backup goalie and the Canes are 3-3 this season against the Lightning. Alex Nedeljkovic is 10-4-2 with a 1.92 GAA and .930 save percentage. Take the Canes at plus money.
