Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes are coming off a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, which extended their winning streak to three games and pushed their 10-game record to seven wins and just three losses.
With the last two coming on the road against Pittsburgh and Toronto, Carolina are showing their performances don’t suffer a massive drop when playing away.
With a W19, L10, OT4 road record, the third-best in the Eastern Conference, the Hurricanes could take advantage of a favourable matchup to keep their winning streak alive.

The Canadiens secured a 7-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday, but they’ve also dropped three of their last five overall (W2, L3) and two of their last four at home.
Montreal have struggled at the Bell Centre this season, posting the seventh-best (or eighth-worst, depending on how you want to look at it) record at home in the Eastern Conference (W20, L13, OT2). Given Carolina’s recent form, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Hurricanes add to the Canadiens’ home struggles and pick up another win, bringing them closer to securing a playoff spot.
Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Cole Caufield to score anytime
Even though the Hurricanes look like favourites to get the win here, Cole Caufield could find the back of the net again. The star forward has been on a tear for the Canadiens lately and is coming off a hat trick in the win over the Islanders.
Caufield has been a consistent scoring weapon, forming an elite offensive pairing with Nick Suzuki. He’s scored in four of his last five games, which bodes well for his chances of adding to his tally of 43 goals in 68 appearances.
Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 5.5 goals + Nikolaj Ehlers over 0.5 points + Nick Suzuki over 0.5 points
Our three-leg parlay points toward an open contest with lots of goals, and a quick look at both teams’ season-long numbers supports that claim.
Both the Hurricanes and Canadiens rank among the top five in goals per game this season, with Montreal sitting third (3.51) and Carolina ranking fourth (3.50). Their previous head-to-head meeting produced a 12-goal explosion that saw the Canadiens win 7-5 on January 1.

That scenario pairs well with two prolific players getting on the scoresheet. Nikolaj Ehlers might rank fourth on the Hurricanes in points with 58 across 70 games, but he’s been on a tear lately with seven points (one goal, six assists) over their last five outings.
As for the Canadiens, it’s hard to single out anyone but Suzuki. The star playmaker leads all players across both teams in points with 85, ranking eighth among all NHL players this season. He’s also picked up seven assists over his last five appearances.
Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes Team News
Montreal Canadiens Team News
The Canadiens will wait until Tuesday, closer to the puck drop, to determine whether Josh Anderson will be available, as he’s day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Patrik Laine (abdomen) and Kirby Dach (upper body) have been ruled out, although both still have a shot at returning before the end of the regular season in mid-April.
Carolina Hurricanes Team News
The Hurricanes were without Shayne Gostisbehere in Sunday’s win over the Penguins due to a lower-body injury, and he’s considered questionable for Tuesday. He’s currently carrying a day-to-day tag, and the Penguins game marked his eighth consecutive absence.
The Hurricanes will also be without Pyotr Kochetkov, who’s dealing with a hip injury and has already been ruled out for the rest of the 2025-26 regular season. The 26-year-old goaltender hasn’t played since December 20, but the latest reports indicate that he might return for the playoffs.
In the meantime, look for Brandon Bussi and Frederik Andersen to protect the Canes’ crease.
