Game Preview
The Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes are likely to be direct rivals in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season, and an early taster of their credentials will be on show when they go head-to-head on Tuesday.
It has been a reliable season for Marin St. Louis’ Habs, as they have gone 38-21-10 in the NHL to sit third in the Atlantic Division standings. Their recent form should also be respected after winning five of their last ten.
The Canadiens recorded a big-scoring 7-3 win over the New York Islanders over the weekend, with Cole Caufield being in standout form after scoring three and contributing two assists.
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are the Eastern Conference leaders at this late stage of the season, having gone 45-19-6. Carolina have continued to show their quality in recent weeks, winning seven of their last ten, which includes victories in each of their last three.
Their offensive quality sparkled once again on Sunday, recording a big 5-1 win on the road against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Seth Jarvis ended the night with two assists and a goal, while other efforts in the success were recorded by Jalen Chatfield, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Sebastian Aho.
Montreal Canadiens vs. Carolina Hurricanes Picks
The Habs have been strong in their home games against the Canes throughout recent history, and the fact that they have won each of the last two head-to-head encounters shouldn’t be overlooked.
