Carolina will be desperate for a victory tonight to get back into their series with the Canadiens, when the two hit the ice at the Bell Centre for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Oddsmakers like the Canadiens in this one, opening the line at 110 in favor of Montreal. They are 44-31-9 this season (18-11-3 in the division), while the Hurricanes are 52-23-9.
After giving up 6 goals in a loss against the Canadiens, Carolina fans expect their defence to hold the fort better against the Canadiens. If not, this one will likely go into the books as a loss.
This game is likely to come down to the Hurricanes' execution on offence. They rank 3rd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 3.6 goals per game average against the Canadiens' #12-rated defensive unit.
