The Montreal Canadiens have done a great job of keeping the puck out of late. Only the Colorado Avalanche and Buffalo Sabres – who have combined to win 19 of 20 – have conceded fewer goals over the last 10 games. They have limited shots effectively and the Carolina Hurricanes are always elite in that regard. With a strong projected goaltending matchup of Jacob Fowler vs. Brandon Bussi, goals should be hard to come by.
Hutson is playmaking at a high level lately. He’s hit the Over in helpers in three straight games, but he also has six assists during that span. On Tuesday, he set up a pair of goals in a win over the Florida Panthers. Hutson has 18 assists in 19 road games, and the Montreal Canadiens are in Raleigh visiting the Carolina Hurricanes tonight.
