The Montréal Canadiens are atop of the Atlantic Division with the Ottawa Senators breathing down their necks and will face them on Saturday but tonight they better take care of business at home and concentrate on the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes have struggled against the Habs, going 2-8 in the last 10 meetings, and are just 1-10 in their last 11 in Montréal. The Canadiens are 6-1 in their last 7 games against the Eastern Conference and 4-1 in their last 5 against the Metropolitan Division. Carey Price should be between the pipes for Montréal tonight but has had some upper body issues so it is not confirmed. If the Habs don’t overlook this game for Saturday’s matchup with the Senators, they should get the win.
Tonight’s pick:
Montréal Canadiens
