Montreal Canadiens vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction: Will the Canadiens be able to pull off another surprise?

Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs Winnipeg Jets match, which will take place on January 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Canadiens have been surprising of late. Not only that the team of Martin St. Louis beat the New York Rangers (2:1) in the previous away game, but also, during the previous game, they beat strong St. Louis (5:4) and Nashville (4:3) in regulation time. The young team confirms they have very high potential, although it's clear it no longer has any tournament goals in the current championship. Montreal is last in the Eastern Conference, just ahead of Columbus.

The Jets beat Arizona 2:1 on their home ice last game. The win was Winnipeg's eighth in the previous nine meetings. The team made a strong run and moved into first place in the Western Conference standings. The Jets are proving that they are considered one of the top favorites this season for a reason.

By the end of the first half of the regular season, Winnipeg fully realized the demands of new head coach Rick Bowness and began steadily producing results. The Jets' defensive hockey has already pushed them into first place in the Western Conference. Montreal beat the New York Rangers in the previous game, but Martin St. Louis' team hasn't won twice in a row in a long time. And in the matchup with Winnipeg, the Canadiens probably expect nothing good, either. We're betting on the Jets to win another in their typical low-scoring game.
