The Montreal Canadiens look to post their second straight road victory on Monday night at the RBC Center in Carolina against the Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes are favored, opening as a 200 chalk, with an opening total of 6.
The Canadiens cruised to an impressive 6-1 victory in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series, as goaltender Cristobal Huet stopped 43 shots to earn the victory.
The Hurricanes lost to the Habs despite being favorites, and the contest went over the closing total. Carolina will need to get their power-play in gear as they are 0-17 in their last three games.
Expect the league's No.3-rated offence to generate a little more trouble for the Canadiens' defence in Game 2. Averaging 3.6 goals per game, the Hurricanes can run up the score if they get on a roll.
Some trends to consider:
Montreal is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Carolina
Montreal is 4-1-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 5 to 6 goals
Montreal is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 away
Carolina is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Montreal
Carolina is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 at home
Carolina is 6-9-3 OU in its last 18 games
