Hurricanes vs Canadiens Prediction

The Canadiens are ice-cold with four straight losses and a defense that can’t keep the puck out of the net. The Hurricanes are back to their winning ways, and they’re 27-8-1 on their home ice. The Canes have won nine of the last 10 games against the Habs, and most of those games weren’t close. In fact, eight of those nine wins were decided by two or more goals. It feels like the Canadiens have run out of gas, and I doubt they’ll find their footing against the Hurricanes on the road. Give me the Hurricanes, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
