Montreal Canadiens vs San Jose Sharks Prediction: The Canadiens still have a good chance to win

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal has every chance to make the playoffs, but it is not much believable in practice. The team shows a mixed game, having two wins in the last seven games - 4:3 over Dallas and 4:3 after a shootout over the Rangers. Thus, the Canadiens dropped to sixth position in the Atlantic Division table and 13th in the Eastern Conference. Montreal is only five points short of eighth place Tampa.

The team has earned only 21 points in 41 games, the worst in the league. The Sharks can forget about the playoffs and just finish the season in the regular season. The guests approach the game with Montreal after 12 losses in a row, which, in principle, is also the worst result. In the last meeting, San Jose lost to Toronto with a difference of six pucks (1:7).

Montreal, against the background of its upcoming opponent, looks very even encouraging. The Canadiens still have all the chances for a place in the playoff zone, so they will try to do everything possible, especially in the upcoming game where they will meet with the main outsider of the league; moreover, in their arena - all the stars are in a row. Montreal must do their job and add two points to their piggy bank. We suggest betting on a home team not to lose.
