Montreal Canadiens vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction: Montreal rarely wins at home

Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs Anaheim Ducks match which will take place on February 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal does not show anything extraordinary in this campaign. Few people expected the Canadiens to do well, so there is no great demand for them. Even making the playoffs seems like a fantasy, as the team is in sixth place in the Atlantic Division with 50 points, ten behind the coveted spot. That's a big gap, and the chances of success are slim, considering Montreal has lost six of the last 8 games.

Anaheim can say goodbye to the playoffs. While Montreal is ten points behind, the Ducks have 20. Their chances are small, but at the same time, the Ducks are fighting hard and have even been scoring consistently lately - they've won four of the last five meetings, only losing in regulation to Edmonton 5:3 the night before. They are seventh in the Pacific Division with 38 points.

Bookmakers consider Montreal the favorite of the upcoming game, but we would not be in a hurry to write off Anaheim. The Ducks have shown excellent results recently, and in meetings with the Canadiens, they are constantly earning points. Montreal rarely wins at home in regulation, so we don't think they'll be able to do it this time - we bet on the visitors to score in the third period.
