This is a free play on CAR TT Under.
The Hurricanes are 11-1 in the Playoffs, but their success is a product of defense and goaltending. They have failed to go over this number in all but three of their games in these playoffs. They rank 7th in the Playoffs averaging just three goals per game, and they rank 13th converting on less than 12 percent of their power play chances. Montreal has faced elimination on the road twice this season, winning both those games. Both of those elimination games went under the total.

Carolina Hurricanes Team Total [UNDER] | Good until 3.5, -130.
Carolina has dominated Games 2-4 through and through. But, as sporting fans have experienced before, closing out a series is never easy. Montreal's been a grind it out sort of team all season. It's been able to win two Game 7s just to get to this point in the playoffs. In both of those elimination games, the Habs allowed two goals or less. I think that they'll come out with a much better gameplan and try and slow down the Canes offense. This game profiles as another low scoring game & I don't think that Carolina will get to four.

GOOD TO MINUS 135
We make a small play on the Montreal Canadiens to hang in there tonight and make this a closer game than most would think. Montreal has been totally dominated the last few games and the last game they looked right out of gas. HC St. Louis will not let them give up and they have played much better on the road in these playoffs. Being a die hard Montreal fan we have bet a few totals but never bet Montreal full game in these playoffs until this plus 1 1/2 play. Funny how things could be if Montreal somehow won those two OT games instead of losing them. Nevertheless a great year by the Habs and we look for them to show some pride in Carolina tonight.

75 Montreal at Carolina
The best way to make money in any playoff format is to take the team nobody wants to bet on, and that's clearly the situation for Montreal tonight. The offense just hasn't been able to get enough shots on goal to find success. After winning the first game of the series, the Hurricanes have won three straight. But Montreal is a strong 4-1 in the postseason on the road after a loss, and unlike the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, NHL players don't quit. Especially young teams like the Canadiens.

After reaching overtime in Games 3 and 4, Montreal collapsed in Game 5, losing 4-0. The Canadiens were outshot 43-18 and failed to score a goal for just the second time in 18 playoff games. Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen was once again solid in net (12 games, 11 wins, 1.44 GAA, 0.928 SV%) and is one win away from reaching the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in his career. Montreal committed eight penalties (32:00) on Wednesday, which is significant because NHL underdogs coming off a game with over 25 penalty minutes are 387-657 (37.1%; -10.8% ROI) since 2003, losing by an average margin of 0.7 goals per game. This situation is 47-66 (41.6%) in the playoffs, including 16-25 (39%; -6.1% ROI) since 2018. Similarly, NHL underdogs of +124 or greater are 136-253 (35%; -8.8% ROI) versus opponents against whom they committed over 25 penalty minutes in the previous meeting. These teams are 12-23 (34.3%; -9.7% ROI) in postseason play since 2014. Since 2002, NHL home favorites are 112-52 (68.3%; +6.4% ROI) versus opponents coming off a loss by three or more goals in late-season games or in the playoffs. Finally, the Hurricanes are 121-77 (61.1%; +4.9% ROI) versus .501 or greater opponents since the beginning of the 2022-23 season, including 40-14 (74.1%; +26% ROI) since 2025. Take the Carolina Hurricanes as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Friday, May 29.

Other than Game 1, this series has been low-scoring. However, all four of the first periods have been high-scoring. Each has gone over the first period O/U line. In Friday's elimination game, I expect the script to flip and for the game to get off to a slower start. In the previous two times that they faced elimination, both coming in Game 7, the Habs didn't allow a single first period goal. In the previous two times (both were Game 4) that they had a chance to eliminate their opponent, the Canes saw first period scores of 0-0 and 1-0. I think this one also finishes with one or less. *good at 1.5 up to -120

NHL Moneyline Expert Picks Free of Charge
Certainly the most common and popular type of NHL bet is simply taking the moneyline. In other words, you simply select the winner of any NHL game. If your pick wins, you win your bet. Simplicity embodied.
Free Over/Under & Totals NHL Picks
Similar to soccer, where the over/under is almost always 2.5, and occasionally 3.5, NHL games rarely deviate from an over/under of 5.5. goals. This makes over/under picking pretty straightforward. It you see an expert NHL pick from Wagertalk that has crunched the stats and sees a goal explosion imminent, no doubt that pick will select the over. Conversely, a defensive matchup in the making makes it likely that the expert NHL pick will be on the under.
Winning an NHL over/under bet is easy. You just choose whether or not the teams combined will score more than 5.5. goals or fewer than 5.5 goals. If you are correct, you win your bet.
Free Expert Puck Line Predictions
An exciting NHL bet is picking the puck line. This is really just betting against the spread, but hockey gets a cooler name: THE PUCK LINE. Sounds great, does it not? For more information on betting the puck line, visit our puck line explanation article. In short, though, you are simply getting better odds than you would on a moneyline bet, because sportsbook allow you to choose from multiple puck lines, you can bet on a larger puck line for a greater return.
WagerTalk expert puck line picks are completely free and a common pick type you will see here.
