Hurricanes vs. Canadiens Prediction, Winner, Over/Under for Game 4 – Wednesday, May 27

The Canadiens blitzed the Hurricanes in Game 1 with a stunning 6-2 win. Carolina had a little extra rest, and it showed. After that, the Eastern Conference Final has been much closer as the next two games went into overtime.

Game 2 featured LW Nikolaj Ehlers, who scored 2 goals, including the overtime winner just 3:29 into the extra session. Canadiens RW Josh Anderson countered with 2 goals, but it was not enough for Montreal.

Game 3 ultimately went into overtime again. This time, an active first period saw the teams combine for 3 goals. An early Montreal power-play goal by D Lane Hutson just 4:43 into the second period sent Monday’s contest into overtime again. 

Then, RW Andrei Svechnikov provided the dramatics 14:06 into the extra session. After C Seth Jarvis sent the puck to the point, Svechnikov took care of the rest. He ripped a screened shot past G Jakub Dobes to end the contest. 

After 0 points in the Ottawa series, the forward now has 5 points in the last seven games for Carolina.
