A rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes has been on and off for the last two decades. However, things started really blowing up when Montreal offer-sheeted Sebastian Aho on July 1st. Ever since, the two fanbases have been at each other’s throats.
Montreal barely missed the playoffs last season, so it shouldn’t be a shocker that this team is going to do their best to not make it close. You can expect the Canadiens to bring one desperate game, they need this game more than the Hurricanes do.
Their offensive corps should be heating up more with Max Domi and Jesperi Kotkaniemi having another season of experience under their belts.
