Tonight we have Game 4 of a series where the CANADIENS are down 2 games to 1. For the first time since the middle of March the HABS have lost 2 in a row. Before their last 2 losses the CANADIENS had beaten Carolina 3 straight times. In game 1 of the series the HURRICANES had uncharacteristically lost 6-2, but that was after a long layoff. It looks like the CANES are back on track living off of their stingy, suffocating defense. The question tonight is whether or not the CANADIENS can break through that defense. The way the HABS have played in these playoffs leads me to believe they can overcome any challenge poised against them. Make no mistake, anytime you can keep the score down, you have a shot. Scoring will be a challenge for both teams. I am leaning Montreal to win in an UNDER game.
Today’s PICK — Carolina / Montreal - UNDER 5.5 — WIN
