The Carolina Hurricanes have a chance to grab full control of the series tonight, while the Montreal Canadiens look to avoid falling into a nearly impossible 3-1 hole at the Bell Centre.
My Hurricanes vs. Canadiens predictions and NHL picks expect another wide-open, offense-driven matchup, with the total pushing Over 5.5 goals on Wednesday, May 27.
- UPDATE: Added a prediction for who will win tonight!
Hurricanes vs Canadiens Game 4 prediction
Who will win Hurricanes vs Canadiens Game 4?
Hurricanes: Carolina has generated 67.8% of the expected goals and 67.3% of the shot attempts since the first period of Game 1, and if Montreal begins to sell out to create more chances, the Habs will be all the more susceptible defensively to the Hurricanes’ counterattack.
Montreal netminder Jakub Dobes can only shelter the Carolina storm for so long.
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.
Hurricanes vs Canadiens SGP
- Over 5.5
- Cole Caufield anytime goal
- Nick Suzuki Over 0.5 assists
Hurricanes vs Canadiens Game 4 goal scorer pick
Andrei Svechnikov (+210)
Carolina winger Andrei Svechnikov scored in Game 3 and still has statistical correction coming in the goals department with his 5.6 shooting percentage during the playoffs lagging well behind his 11.1 career mark during the regular season. He continues to see go-to offensive minutes on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit, and Svechnikov has recorded an impressive 5.08 individual expected goals and 16 high-danger scoring chances through 11 games. I’d back the Russian to score down to a +200 price.
