Canadiens vs Hurricanes Prediction

The Hurricanes have cooled off over the last month, and it makes the big plus money worth a look, especially at home. The problem is the Habs have fallen off a cliff themselves, with losses in eight of their last 10 games. The Canadiens have been a mess defensively during this losing stretch. The Hurricanes have also won nine straight games against the Canadiens. The Canadiens have been shut out four times during that stretch. The Habs haven’t won a game against the Hurricanes since February 2020. Give me the Canes and of course, I’ll take the PL to shave down the price.
