Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen in NHL action.<\/p>\n The Vegas Golden Knights erased a 2-0 deficit to win Game 1 over the Carolina Hurricanes and steal home-ice advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n They’ll meet again tonight at Lenovo Center, and my\u00a0Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes predictions and NHL picks<\/a> are calling for improved play from Carolina netminder Frederik Andersen in Game 2 on Thursday, June 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n For more on this game, read Todd Cordell’s Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes props<\/a>. Don’t miss puck drop at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.<\/p>\n UPDATE: Added a prediction for who will win tonight.<\/p>\n Golden Knights vs Hurricanes Game 2 prediction Hurricanes: This series screams a back-and-forth battle, and Vegas goaltender Carter Hart was susceptible in Game 1 with a .852 save percentage and -1.72 goals saved above expected. The Hurricanes also finished the series opener with a 60.7% Corsi For percentage at five-on-five, and I\u2019m also expecting a tidier performance for Carolina starter Frederik Andersen.<\/p>\n Golden Knights vs Hurricanes best bet: Frederik Andersen Over 21.5 saves (-105)<\/p>\n The pendulum swung too far in Game 1 for Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> starter Frederik Andersen<\/a>.<\/p>\n He finished with just 18 saves after being nothing short of spectacular throughout the postseason with a high-end .920 save percentage, 1.65 GAA, and .560 goals saved above expected per 60 minutes.<\/p>\n Carolina was also vulnerable for stretches of the series opener, and in particular, the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> dominated the second period with a 73.3% overall shot share.<\/p>\n Vegas isn\u2019t going to go prolonged stretches without generating offense, and Andersen isn\u2019t going to post a.783 SV% with -1.73 goals saved above expected again in Game 2, so there is an easy path to this Over.<\/p>\n I\u2019d play this prop confidently to -115.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account The Golden Knights and Hurricanes generated 6.35 expected goals in Game 1, and both goaltenders struggled in the opener. In addition to Andersen finishing with -1.73 GSAx, Vegas starter Carter Hart<\/a> also checked in with a -1.72 mark.<\/p>\n With a heightened focus on attention to defensive detail being a chalkboard talking point for both teams, I\u2019m anticipating a lower-scoring Game 2 with better goaltending for both teams.<\/p>\n
