Montreal Canadiens vs New York Rangers Prediction: What to expect from the fight?

Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs New York Rangers match, which will take place on March 10. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Montreal is not fighting for anything this season. The team is in 15th place in the Eastern Conference standings and last in the Atlantic Division standings ahead of the game. They have only 57 points. Moreover, the Canadiens haven't shown anything in their previous meetings either, having lost in four straight. After a 2:3 loss to Anaheim and a 3:4 loss to Vegas, Montreal lost in a shootout to Carolina (3:4).

The Rangers, for their part, could be strengthened throughout the campaign. Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane joined their ranks. Obviously, with such a strong roster, they will be fighting for the Stanley Cup. So far, they are sixth in the Eastern Conference standings and third in the Metropolitan Division standings with 79 points. In the last two meetings, however, the Rangers lost 3:5 to Ottawa and 2:4 to Boston. So now it's time for them to rehabilitate themselves.

We agree that bookmakers' experts regard the Rangers as the favorites in the upcoming battle. New York will fight for the Stanley Cup in the upcoming playoffs, while Montreal won't get there at all. The home team has already lost four straight. The visitors, for various reasons, have lost in the previous two meetings. Now they must rehabilitate themselves, so we suggest betting on their victory over the outsider.
