Carolina at Montreal

Carolina has lost three in a row after a 3-2 defeat to lowly Detroit on Thursday night when Jake Walman scored with 3.2 seconds left and the Hurricanes were outplayed in a lackluster performance. Now they go to Montreal where the Canadiens suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes on March 7. Montreal had won two straight versus Columbus and Buffalo before losing to the Flyers and Panthers. Sam Montembeault will be in net for the Canadiens and he has won two of his past three starts and he is 15-15-3 on the season. Carolina has lost four straight versus a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game and Montreal has won six in a row after a home loss by at least three goals and four of five after allowing five or more. Take the Canadiens as a Max Play.
