The second half of the NHL season is underway, and the Carolina Hurricanes are heating up. But is the Raleigh-based hockey team good enough to make a serious run at the Stanley Cup?
They’re certainly trending in the right direction. After a slow start that left Carolina mired in ninth place in the NHL’s Eastern Conference standings on Christmas Eve, the Hurricanes have rallied to win 13 of their next 17 games. They are now in fourth place in the East, and with Stanley Cup odds that had risen to +1000 at most sportsbooks.
For sports bettors, are the Hurricanes worth backing to win it all? The talent is clearly there, given that many books had Carolina as Stanley Cup favorite in the preseason. Thanks to marked improvements in power plays and penalty killing, the Hurricanes are finally beginning to show that potential—and once North Carolina sports betting launches on March 11, local fans in the Old North State will be able to get a piece of the action, too.
Beginning on launch day, North Carolina betting apps will have individual game bets as well as futures available on the Hurricanes and other NHL teams. Carolina as of this week had -4000 odds of making the playoffs, and +160 of winning the Metropolitan Division — second on the board behind the -135 New York Rangers.
Sports bettors as of launch day will also be able to claim North Carolina sportsbook promos, which typically award bonus bets that can be used to wager on the Hurricanes. You must be at least 21 years old and physically within the state to claim promo code offers or to bet legally in North Carolina.
While we don’t yet know what those promos will be, we have an idea of who plans to launch in the state. Fanatics Sportsbook, which partnered with the Hurricanes to gain market access in North Carolina, should be a major force in the state with a Fanatics Sportsbook North Carolina promo code offer perhaps available even during the early registration period that starts .
And there’s no limit to the number of bonus offers you can claim—if it’s legally available in the Old North State, it’s there for the taking. The Caesars Sportsbook North Carolina promo code will undoubtedly deliver a terrific welcome bonus as it has in every state where it has gone live.
Likewise, the BetMGM North Carolina bonus code could be a Bet & Get offer like it has done for other state launches and currently offers nationally.
The ESPN BET North Carolina promo code should also be highly sought after, especially if mirrors the Bet & Get offer it had for its national launch, which was an incredible success. Those offers arrive at a perfect time — just as the Hurricanes are beginning their march back to Stanley Cup contention, where many sportsbooks believed they’d be all along.
