The Hurricanes are -160 favorites to get the job done, too.
My top Hurricanes vs. Canadiens predictions and NHL picks expect the offensive floodgates to open with the total going Over 5.5 goals on Wednesday, May 27.
Hurricanes vs Canadiens Game 4 prediction
Hurricanes vs Canadiens best bet: Over 5.5 (-115)
The Montreal Canadiens have 34 shots and 5.09 expected goals since the opening period of Game 1, and they need to start pushing more offensively to keep pace because the Carolina Hurricanes have 78 shots and 10.73 xGF to more than double them.
A more aggressive Montreal attack leaves the Habs defensively vulnerable, which will also position Jakub Dobes to be all the more susceptible to the pending statistical correction to his unsustainable 3.63 goals saved above expected during the series.

So, with Carolina starter Frederik Andersen allowing -2.65 GSAx with a confidence-shattering .804 save percentage, I’m anticipating the total soaring Over the number in Game 4 and would bet it to -125.
Hurricanes vs Canadiens Game 4 same-game parlay
The Montreal top line of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky has been on the ice for just 1.72 goals and 1.94 expected goals per 60 minutes the past two games after posting eye-popping 4.06 and 5.0 marks through 15 games to start the postseason.
As a result, I’m targeting Caufield to snap out of a mini-scoring funk consisting of just a single goal across the past five games despite recording a team-high eight high-danger scoring chances.

Additionally, while Suzuki has put up a solid 1.9 assists per 60 minutes in the playoffs, he’s still lagging below his elite 2.53 mark during the regular season.
