Let’s break down my NHL picks for Tuesday, March 24.
Hurricanes vs Canadiens prediction
Hurricanes vs Canadiens best bet: Jakub Dobes Over 26.5 saves (-130)
The Carolina Hurricanes are a high volume shot-generation team, averaging 32.3 shots per game (second most). They don’t finish with great efficiency, sitting tied for 18th in shooting percentage.
That leads to a lot of high save counts for opposing goaltenders. Jakub Dobes should be up to the task on Tuesday night.
He has performed well at home all season long, recording a 2.33 GAA and .901 SV%. Those marks are much better than his road outputs.

Dobes also enters play in fine form, posting an impressive .917 SV% over his last five starts.
Hurricanes vs Canadiens same-game parlay
The Montreal Canadiens have scored goals consistently, even against strong defenses. They’ve averaged 3.78 goals per game vs. teams ranking Top-10 in shot suppression, including a seven-goal outburst the last time they played Carolina.
Cole Caufield has averaged 1.3 points per game following two days of rest, while Lane Hutson has hit the scoresheet in 11 of 14 games after a couple of days off.
Expect both to be productive against a Hurricanes team that sits 27th in team SV%.
