Montreal vs Carolina Prediction and Odds on the Match on 17 April 2025

Another regular season NHL game is going to be played at the Bell Centre in Montreal on 17 April 2025. In this game, the local Montreal team will be playing the Carolina Hurricanes from Raleigh. The start of the confrontation is scheduled for 02:00. Metaratings has got you covered with all the key stats.

Montreal

Montreal is still in with a shout for the playoffs, but the night before the main event was the NHL debut of Ivan Demidov. Straight after SKA got knocked out of the Gagarin Cup, the 19-year-old forward went to North America, where he scored two points in his first game against Chicago. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for a 3-4 win over the Hawks.

This was the third loss in a row for the Canadiens. They didn't do so well against Ottawa and Toronto (2-5 and 0-1). It looked like the team had already got their place in the playoffs sewn up, but after these setbacks, Columbus had a slim chance of beating Montreal in the fight for the last Cup trip.

Carolina

Carolina had a really solid regular season, securing an early playoff berth. Yes, the Hurricanes are showing mediocre results at the finish line, but we shouldn't be surprised, as it's clear they're preparing for the start of the cup battles, which is much more important for them now.

The team has only won one out of six battles, but they did beat the Rangers 7-3. They scored one more point for a 4-5 shootout loss to Washington, and in four games they had no points at all. Carolina is fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Montreal vs Carolina: Head to Head Statistics

Montreal vs Carolina Match Prediction 17 April 2025

Montreal did really well at the end of the regular season. This is especially true of the home game at Bell Centre, where the Canadiens have not lost in 11 consecutive games. In that period, they've lost twice in shootouts and won nine of them. Carolina isn't solving tournament problems and is quietly preparing for the playoffs, which is why they lost in five of the six previous meetings. 

The match between Montreal and Carolina has seen very few goals so far. In the last four times these two teams have played each other, they've only scored 17 goals in total (an average of 4.25 goals per game). Every single time, the bookies said there would be less than two goals, and in all four games, the teams scored less than two goals.
