Montreal has been reduced to playing a spoiler role and the Canadiens have been doing a good job of it recently as they have won three in a row against Seattle, Colorado and Philadelphia. The Canadiens got a 4-1 win over the Flyers on Thursday when Cayden Primeau had 29 saves and Montreal jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period. The home team has won 10 of the past 13 meetings between these teams although Carolina has won both meetings this season. The Hurricanes have alternated wins and losses for five games and they come off a 4-0 win over Detroit. Samuel Montembeault is probable for Montreal tonight and he is 14-13-7 with a .905 save percentage. There is good value in the home underdog and play the Canadiens as a Max Play.
