01
GPT-5.6 Luna
Carolina Hurricanes win
3–2
56%
Carolina's home-ice advantage and balanced recent head-to-head results slightly favor the Hurricanes. Washington has shown it can score against Carolina, so a close, moderate-scoring game is the best estimate.
02
Claude Sonnet 5
Carolina Hurricanes win
4–3
56%

03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Carolina Hurricanes win
4–2
62%
Carolina's dominant shot-generation style and home-ice advantage should overcome Washington's counter-attacking setup in a typically competitive divisional clash.
04
Grok 4.6
Carolina Hurricanes win
3–2
58%
H2H is split and early-season form is thin; Carolina’s home ice and usual pace edge a close, one-goal game over Washington rather than a blowout.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro

Carolina's home ice and recent split results against Washington suggest a tight game; Hurricanes' pace edges a close finish.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Carolina Hurricanes win
3–2
58%

4–3
60%

08
Kimi K3
Carolina Hurricanes win
4–3
58%
Carolina's home-ice structure and forechecking depth edge Washington's transition attack; H2H shows tight one-goal games, but Hurricanes' defensive consistency at PNC Arena prevails in a high-event contest.
09
GLM 5.3
Carolina Hurricanes win
3–2
56%
Carolina leads the recent H2H 3-2 including playoff wins and has home ice for this season opener; meetings run tight (4-7 combined goals), so a narrow home win fits despite early-season uncertainty.

Carolina Hurricanes win
4–3
58%
Recent H2H shows tight, high-scoring affairs; Carolina's home ice and balanced attack give a slight edge in another close, open game.
