Neil Parker's expert pick: Over 5.5
Price: -115 at bet99
The Montreal Canadiens have produced 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, as the Carolina Hurricanes have 78 shots and 10.73 xGF — more than double that total.
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.
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.
Josh Inglis's expert pick: K'Andre Miller Over 0.5 points
Price: +160 at bet99
K'Andre Miller led all skaters in ice time in Game 3 and played more than 30 minutes with an assist and seven shot attempts.
Miller is getting big minutes, and the Carolina defense as a whole is generating a ton of pucks at the net with 40 SAT as a group in Game 3, which was almost as many as Montreal had as a team.
His pairing with Sean Walker is getting the most run of all Carolina D pairs, and +160 for a player who has a point in 70% of his last 10 games is a great price.
Kyle LaRusic's expert pick: Frederik Andersen Under 20.5 saves
Price: -125 at bet99
To make a save, the opposing team has to shoot the puck, and that doesn't seem to be in the Canadiens' game plan. The Habs have generated 25 shots total in Games 2 and 3, and both of those games went to overtime.
Even in Game 1, where they scored 6 goals, they only generated 22 shots. The Canes have dominated Montreal in possession, with the Canadiens' highest Corsi For% coming in Game 2 (41.30%)
Andersen is 0-3 O/U on this prop in this series, and all signs point to another Under in Game 4.
