Carolina Hurricanes vs. Montreal Canadiens: Preview
Tonight’s Eastern Conference matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes at the Bell Centre in Montreal doesn’t have much luster to it as the Canes are expected to dominate. Habs will look to avoid a season sweep after the Canes won their first two games between these teams this year.
The Carolina Hurricanes have had a fantastic season, with their spot in the playoffs clinched as they lead the Metro Division with a 47-18-9 record. Although they are on a three-game losing streak, they have been good on both ends of the ice, scoring an average of 3.23 goals per game and allowing just the third-fewest goals in the NHL. They were led in scoring by Martin Necas and Sebastian Aho.
The Montreal Canadiens have had a miserable season. They've already been eliminated from playoff contention with a 30-40-6 record. They’ve scored an average of only 2.82 goals per game and have struggled defensively, allowing the fifth-most goals in the NHL. They have only killed off 73.2% of their penalties, the fourth-worst penalty kill in the NHL. Captain Nick Suzuki leads them in scoring this season.
Freddy Andersen is projected to start in goal for the Hurricanes tonight, while Jake Allen is projected to start for the Canadiens. The Hurricanes are expected to dominate this matchup, given their strong performances throughout the season, while the Canadiens will be playing for pride in this final game of the season series.
