Carolina Hurricanes vs. Montréal Canadiens

Quick read:

I'm backing the under on the 6.5‑goal total because the Hurricanes have turned their blue line into a brick wall, and the Canadiens have been about as sharp offensively as a dull butter knife.

A 53‑22 record tells you Carolina knows how to win without lighting the lamp, and that consistency usually translates into tight games where goals are hard to come by.

The only wrinkle is if Montréal catches fire early, but at the price offered the risk feels like a drizzle on a sunny day.
