Tonight&#8217;s Game 4 between the Carolina Hurricanes and Montreal Canadiens will be a big one. After tonight, the series will either be tied 2-2 or the Hurricanes will take a 3-1 series lead.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7x\">Let&#8217;s take a look at my best bets for this game.<\/p>\n<p>NHL Best Bets Today<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"83\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4hmNc2h\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via BetMGM Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hurricanes -150 vs. CanadiensUNDER 5.5 (-115)Hurricanes -150 vs. Canadiens<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8c\">In today&#8217;s edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/wednesday-may-27-best-bets-and-predictions-picks-for-french-open-and-hurricanes-canadiens-game-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Betting $100 Every Day for a Year<\/a>, I broke down why I&#8217;m betting the Hurricanes to win tonight:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8f\">The two previous games in this series have been close on the scoreboard, but the Hurricanes have completely dominated in those two games. Carolina has an expected goal differential of +1.42 per 60 minutes of play. The Canadiens were beyond lucky to force Game 2 and Game 3 to overtime, and unless they significantly improve their level of play, they&#8217;re going to be facing a 3-1 deficit heading back to Carolina.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8i\">Based on the underlying numbers, I have no choice but to back the Hurricanes at their current price tag.<\/p>\n<p>UNDER 5.5 (-115)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8o\">Considering the Canadiens have combined for just 25 shots in the last two games, both of which went to overtime, it&#8217;s hard to imagine Game 4 being a high-scoring affair. Not only have the games yielded low shooting numbers, but they have combined for just 5.78 expected goals per 60 minutes. Pair that with the Canadiens&#8217; goalie, Jakub Dobes, sporting a 91.4% save percentage this series, and I think we&#8217;re in for another low-scoring game tonight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8t\">Follow Iain on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IainMacBets\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iainmacbets\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8w\">Get up to<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4hmNc2h\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> $1,500 back in bonus bets <\/a>when you create a new BetMGM Sportsbook account.
