1* FREE PLAY Carolina.

Vegas is off the 6-3 home win over Ottawa, but we think it'll have its hands full here with this talented home side. Carolina is for sure the more desperate team here now, having lost two straight in extra time, most recently a 2-1 shootout loss to Washington. This is the first game of the year between the clubs, but we feel that "home ice" will prove to be the difference-maker. With big upcoming games at Tampa and Florida as well, we look for the defending champs to get caught "looking ahead" a bit; consider Carolina on Tuesday night!
