Hurricanes vs Canadiens Same Game Parlay Picks for April 16: Bet Under 6, Montreal Rookie Demidov 1+ Assists (+175)

The Montreal Canadiens hope to save the best for last. After missing the playoffs in each of the last three seasons, a win or an overtime loss against the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday would give the Canadiens the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

The NHL odds have Montreal at +220 on the -1.5 puck line while Carolina comes in at -260 as the 1.5-goal underdog.

Hurricanes vs Canadiens Free NHL Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Hurricanes vs Canadiens Under 6 (-115)

When looking at the NHL betting trends, there have been five goals or fewer scored in six of Montreal’s last eight games.

There have been a total of nine goals scored in the two Hurricanes vs Canadiens games this season. That is reason enough to go with the game to land under when making NHL picks.

Bet on Hurricanes vs Canadiens Under 6 (-115)

• Leg 2: Canadiens Moneyline (-130)

I don’t have much confidence in Montreal putting away Carolina, even if this game has little meaning for the visiting Hurricanes. However, taking the Canadiens to seal the deal with a playoff-clinching win could be the way to go.

Carolina has lost its last four road games. That is something to remember when making NHL parlay picks.

Bet on Canadiens ML (-130)

• Leg 3: Ivan Demidov 1+ Assists  (+175)

Our top NHL player prop pick for the Hurricanes vs Canadiens game is Ivan Demidov to have 1+ assists.

Demidov made his much-anticipated NHL debut on Monday. He did not disappoint with a goal and an assist in a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The recent first-round pick could deliver again.

Bet on Ivan Demidov 1+ Assists (+175)

• Leg 4: Jackson Blake Over 0.5 Points (-122)

Carolina rookie winger Jackson Blake had a goal and two assists the last time he faced the Canadiens. He has five goals and an assist in seven games in April.

Take Blake at -122 to have 1+ points as one of the top NHL predictions.
