NHL Expert Picks: Hurricanes VS Canadiens Sure Tips

Next Tuesday the NHL night schedule brings such an interesting showdown between Hurricanes VS Canadiens.  The Carolina Hurricanes (33-20-4) are playing against the Montreal Canadiens (26-26-5) on Tuesday, 26th of February, 2025.  The match is scheduled for 01:00 AM at the Bell Centre. For NHL Betting Predictions from a Hot Prediction Site you can count on, read MatchPlug’s betting preview for Hurricanes VS Canadiens to get some help with your bets. Betting Preview for Hurricanes VS Canadiens Betting On The Hurricanes   The Hurricanes have been considered favorites for the Stanley Cup for many seasons now.  They are currently in the playoff zone with 70 points, playing up to their potential. Their most recent game was a disappointing 6-3 away loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on February 22nd. Their loss in this game marked their third consecutive defeat on the road, highlighting their weakness in away matches. Despite these losses, Rod Brind’Amour’s team appears to be more stable overall. They have also recorded a 3-0 away victory that showed that they not only have a strong offense, their defensive lines are also secure.  Betting On Canadiens The Canadiens have played pretty decently this season but have been unable to achieve consistent winnings. In their games in January and early February, they only managed 5 wins in regulation time and after the Four Nations Tournament break, they redeemed themselves with a win against Ottawa. Their Ottawa victory was on February 22nd in 5-2 away game which managed to set them on a steady position in the standings. Now, however, they are struggling with injury reports of some of their key players. Tkachuck, Pinto and Norris have been missing in games and their absence might cause major problems for the team in their match against the Hurricanes on Tuesday. MatchPlug Prediction For Hurricanes VS Canadiens This match between the Hurricanes and the Canadiens is going to be a tough one because it is their first meeting for the season.  In this fixture, The Hurricanes have significant statistical advantage of beating their opponents in home and away matches in recent years and are currently desperate to redeem themselves after their series of away losses.  Our prediction for this game is a victory for the Hurricanes in regulation time.

Their last game which was a 8-2 victory over New York Rangers was secured with the combined efforts of player Rasmussen Dahlin who had 4 points and Goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukonen, who made 26 saves. It’s safe to say that the Sabres have the firepower to come out on top at the Key bank center this Tuesday, just like they did when they last played the Ducks at Honda Center and finished with a 3-2 victory. Betting On Anaheim Ducks  The Anaheim Ducks have been inconsistent. Their last game was a disappointing 5-4 defeat that occurred at the Little Caesars Arena in a game against the Detroit Red Wings. Despite bagging 4 goals like their opponent, their defense was a bit shaky and they conceded one more goal which led to their defeat. The Ducks will need major improvements at defense if they want to stand a chance against the tough Sabres on Tuesday. MatchPlug Prediction For Buffalo Sabres VS Anaheim Ducks While the Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks haven’t had a problem scoring goals this season, we anticipate a win for the Sabres. The Sabres have been consistent at home, securing consecutive wins and protecting their defense. They have the home advantage in this game and will likely secure another win to their streak.
