Montreal started the season very well. In four games, the Canadiens managed two wins and two draws. Thus, they beat Toronto dry in the very first game (1:0), and even later managed to cope with Ottawa (4:1). But against Boston (4:6) and on the eve of Pittsburgh (3:6) they could not do anything. Overall, four points in four games is a solid result, and if Montreal keeps up the momentum, they can even count on the playoffs.

Los Angeles also earned four points in the opening four meetings of the season. The Kings had only one win in their very first game - a 3:1 win over Buffalo. Then they had two defeats, both in overtime. They lost 1:2 in a low-scoring battle with Boston, but lost 7:8 in a high-scoring battle with Ottawa. Well, the day before Los Angeles had already lost in regular time, having missed six pucks from Toronto (2:6).

We note that Montreal looks better than Los Angeles at the start of the season, and at home they have two wins in three games. That said, the Kings have played poorly in their last two games, allowing eight pucks to Ottawa and six to Toronto. It seems that with such a defensive game at the Bell Centre, the visitors won't get much of a chance - let's take the final victory of the home team (including overtime and shootout).
