Hurricanes vs Canadiens Prediction

The Hurricanes are going to get the benefit of the doubt and being at home doesn’t hurt. However, both teams are on the end of back to backs and the Habs are playing too well to turn down the big underdog spot. The Canadiens have been one of the hotter teams in the league over the last two weeks, and they’ve won 3 straight games against the Canes. One of those wins came a few days ago, 5-2.

The Habs have had a field day offensively in recent games against the Hurricanes. We’re getting 1.5 times our money with a team that’s downright rolling. Give me the more favorable price on Sunday afternoon.
