Finally, the Stanley Cup Playoffs behaved themselves on Saturday night, and I ended my slump. It took the team my family roots for (the Montreal Canadiens) to lose, but them’s the breaks – money over everything. For my best bet for Monday (May 25th): NHL Playoffs Predictions, we’re off to the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. Let’s get this money!
Best Bet For Monday (May 25th): NHL Playoffs Predictions
Carolina Hurricanes vs Montreal Canadiens
Start Time: 8:00 PM EST
And I’ll be picking against my family’s “team” once more tomorrow night as the Eastern Conference Finals move to La Belle Province, Quebec, as the Montreal Canadiens host the Carolina Hurricanes. After the Canadiens stole Game 1 on enemy turf, the Canes evened the series with an overtime victory on Saturday night.
I expect Carolina to be up in the series after the final horn tomorrow night at the Bell Centre. Being at home normally is a huge advantage to a team, especially in the playoffs, but that hasn’t been the case for the Habs during this run. The Canadiens are only 2-4 in front of their home fans in the playoffs. And the Hurricanes are a perfect 4-0 on the road during their run to the conference finals.
The Carolina Hurricanes, on a much nicer moneyline than Game 2’s, are my best bet for Monday.
Best Bet: Carolina ML (-128)
Best Bet Overall 2026 Record: 80-63 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($216.95)
Return on Investment: -2%
