Carolina Hurricanes vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/25/26

This seven-game series between the Caolina hurricanes and Montreal Canadiens is now tied 1-1 as we shift to Montreal for Game 3 of the series. The Hurricanes narrowly avoided going down two games to none with an overtime win in Game 2. The Hurricanes dominated this game as they limited the Canadiens to only 12 shots on goal. The Canadiens have shown us that they can skate with the Hurricanes. The Bell Centre is going to be rocking as it always is for Game 3, and I think the Canadiens will feed off of this energy. I am confident that Jakub Dobes will play well enough to give the Canadiens a chance to win, the scorers on the Canadiens will just need to figure out Frederik Andersen – which has not been an easy task in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

With how evenly matched these games have been so far, I like taking advantage of the value on the home underdogs. The Canadiens have not won a game on home ice in these playoffs since Game 3 of the second round. I think that will change on Monday. Give me the Canadiens to take a 2-1 series lead.
