Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction: Carolina Is the Favorite

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

Montreal has accepted its fate. The Canadiens are performing poorly this season, in 15th position in the East standings and last in the Atlantic Division. The team has only 56 points in the asset – it's deplorable. Therefore, they don't dream of any playoffs. Also, in the three previous meetings, Montreal did not score a single point – three defeats in regular time. First, there was 2:3 from Los Angeles, then the same 2:3 from Anaheim, and after 3:4 from Vegas.

Carolina is fighting for the highest places in the Eastern Conference standings and Metropolitan Division. At the moment, they are the second and first, respectively. Of course, getting around Boston will hardly be possible, but it's worth a try. The Hurricanes have 90 points, while the Bruins, leading in the East, have as many as 103. After two rather unexpected defeats, Carolina issued two losses. First, they coped with Arizona (6:1); then, they destroyed Tampa Bay with a score of 6:0.

Carolina is the favorite of the upcoming match, which is unsurprising. The second team from the beginning of the East goes to the second from the end. Plus, Montreal is coming to the battle after three defeats in a row in regular time, so they are hardly in a good mood. But Carolina, after two losses with a total score of 12:1, will continue a successful streak.
