Command Analysis
Montreal Canadiens
CanadaCurrent form
Montreal currently occupies the eighth position of the Eastern Conference and has 89 points in its asset. The team needs to earn at least one point in the final meeting to guarantee a place in the playoffs, as Columbus is literally breathing down its back and is only a couple of points behind. However, at the moment the Canadians are in mediocre form and had previously suffered three defeats in a row.
Recall that after a confident home victory over Detroit (4:1), they lost away to Ottawa (2:5), Toronto (0:1) OT), and already on their ice they unexpectedly lost to Chicago with a score of 3:4 in shootouts. In the match with the hawks, they had a comfortable two-goal advantage, but they failed to manage it properly and played poorly in the minority, allowing the opponent to take advantage of two attempts.
In general, the game is best for Martin San Louis's team when there are no more than one or two goals in his net, so in the upcoming confrontation, the club will certainly try to play defensively as reliably as possible and not allow the opponent to score three times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Heineman, Duck and Price will not play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Montreal wins 51% of face-offs
- According to statistics, Canadians make 25 shots on target
Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Carolina is in fourth position in the Eastern Conference and has earned a combined total of 99 points. The team has worsened its position in the standings due to the fact that it has been showing disastrous results and losing very often this month. Let's remind that in six previous fights she celebrated success only once.
So, earlier on the road, the Hurricanes even lost to Buffalo (0:3), Washington (4:5 B), and after a big victory at home over the Rangers (7:3), they lost to Toronto again with a score of 1:4, while scoring only one goal. In general, recently, the squad of the Brindamore Clan often had difficulties creating and implementing chances, which left them with no more than one or two goals scored. In the last match with the Leafs, the club scored a single goal in the 5x4 format, but failed to score in equal squads.
By the way, Karolina performs much worse on foreign venues than on her own ice, and up to this point she has managed to win only 13 victories in regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gostisber and Fast will not play in the upcoming confrontation.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Carolina makes 32 shots on target.
- According to statistics, the Hurricanes win 52.6% of face-offs.

1.43Tip and bets
In our opinion, Montreal should do everything in the upcoming match in order to earn two points. The Tricolours have been playing great on their ice lately and have kept most of the fights to themselves. Carolina has been showing mediocre results on the road throughout the season and often concedes within 60 minutes. Plus, the last meeting between the clubs at the Bell Center ended in favor of the hosts with a score of 4:0.
Prediction - Montreal wins with a handicap (0) in 1.87
Betting on an individual total
In this confrontation, we will not expect a large number of goals from Carolina. Montreal will play as reliably as possible in defense in the upcoming meeting and will not allow the opponent to score a lot. The Hurricanes, moreover, had a lot of difficulties in creating and implementing chances in previous meetings and remained with the minimum number of goals scored.
We're betting on Carolina's individual total of less than three goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings between the clubs were inconclusive and, as a rule, took place with less than six goals scored. Montreal has preferred to operate in a more closed style lately, and the upcoming match, given its importance, will be even more careful. Karolina also often adheres to a closed style of play, so we suggest betting less on the total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.08
