Carolina Hurricanes vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction: Who will manage to score points?

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on March 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Carolina holds the level this season. The Hurricanes show quite decent results, thanks to which they are steadily going through the campaign and now occupy second place in the table of the Metropolitan Division, as well as fifth in the overall table of the East. The team has 78 points, so there should be no question about their playoff spot. We note that after two wins in a row Carolina lost to Winnipeg with a score of 3:5.

Montreal, in turn, with the playoffs, can say goodbye almost now. Yes, the team still has a small chance to make it there, but it will be almost a miracle. So, at the moment, the Canadiens are seventh in the Atlantic Division standings and 14th in the overall East table. They have only 58 points. But already in four meetings in a row, Montreal gained points, and the day before, they even beat Nashville in overtime (4:3).

In the upcoming battle, we suggest betting on Carolina. The Hurricanes now and then show great results and record victories, especially at home. Plus, they have playoffs ahead of them, and they can't relax in any case. That's not even close to what can be said about Montreal, which looks frankly sad. The Hurricanes have won seven of the past seven head-to-head meetings, and three of them were blowout victories. That's why we expect them to win now.
