MON Canadiens vs VAN Canucks Prediction: the hosts won’t lose

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The second half of December and the beginning of January are going well for the team. During this period of time, Montreal played ten games, seven of which were stronger and three weaker, all in regulation time. Thus, the Canadiens cut the gap to eighth in the Eastern Conference standings to two points. Ahead of the duel with Vancouver, they are content with the 11th place, having a total of 39 points.

The last 15 days have not turned out well for the team. During this stretch of time, Vancouver added only nine points to its asset. They managed to beat Colorado, San Jose and Seattle, and also played a draw in regulation time with Utah, Ottawa and the Kraken. In the remaining four meetings the Whales suffered setbacks, as a result of which the position in the table of the West slightly worsened. The lower-ranked Calgary has only one point less, so any mistake could drop the guests to the ninth position.

Analysts of bookmakers expect the victory of the second team, which will only play to our advantage. Montreal has performed much better recently, which obviously can not be said about the Whales, who have lost in seven games out of the last ten. In our opinion, being in their own stands Montreal will not neglect points, especially in the away Vancouver looks poor - one win in five games. As a reinsurance, let's take the home team not losing at a good rate.
