Carolina vs Montreal Prediction: the Hurricanes to Outplay an Easy Opponent

Prediction for the NHL match between Carolina vs Montreal, which will take place on December 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Carolina is far from perfect conditions this season. Thus, with 40 points, they sit fourth in the standings of the Metropolitan Division. But the opponents are coming from the bottom, so they must not lose points. On the eve of the break, the Hurricanes failed two games in a row, but after the break, they had a great game with Nashville, winning 5-2.

Montreal also does not do their best this season, but we did not expect great success either way. The Canadiens are located on the sixth line in the Atlantic Division with 35 points. In other words, the team is not looking forward to the playoffs. However, the team earned points in five straight games before the break. In the past, Montreal dealt with Chicago, beating them 5-2.

In the upcoming meeting, we favor Carolina. They performed great in the match after the break. Moreover, the Hurricanes have already picked up the pace, while the visitors are unlikely to come to their senses. Also, Montreal is an easy opponent for Carolina as they fail now and then in head-to-head matchups. In this case, we suggest backing the home team to win outright.
