In this Hurricanes vs Canadiens Prediction, the Hurricanes are coming as -128 road favorites. The Hurricanes have been playing good hockey lately, as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games and their offense is clicking, having scored 15 total goals in their last three games. On the flip side, the Habs have lost three of their last five games and have scored three goals or less in six of their last seven games, so I don’t trust them against the best team of the East. Take the Hurricanes on the moneyline on the road in this one.
