Hurricanes look to blow past Canadiens
The Carolina Hurricanes will play host to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night in the opening game of their first-round playoff series.
Carolina finished with a season record of 52-22-8, while the Canadiens sneaked into the playoffs with a record of 42-31-9.
Oddsmakers set the Canes as -190 home favorites in this game, with an opening total of 6 goals.
The Hurricanes owned the Canadiens during the regular season, sweeping the season series 4-0.
This series should come down to a battle between the Hurricanes' offence and the Canadiens' goaltending. Carolina finished with one of most potent offences in the league led by super sophomore Eric Staal, while Montreal goaltender Cristobal Huet backstopped his team into the playoffs and finished with the NHL's best save percentage at .930.
