The Carolina Hurricanes have won eight straight when taking on a team with a losing record, and I think we're getting a reasonable price on the Canes here when they host the Montreal Canadiens Thursday night. The Habs have won just two of their last eight games overall and one of their last seven on the road. Carolina won the last meeting 6-5 at Montreal just before the All Star break to make it a perfect 3-0 run in the series and we can note that Montreal is just 4-11 when trying to avenge a home loss this season.

My selection is an 8* play on Carolina Hurricanes.
