Montreal has been one of the league's underdogs recently, but they have started the season as if they had no problems before. In their nine games, they have been held scoreless just twice, lost twice in overtime, and won five times. Unfortunately, the defeats began after that. First, they unexpectedly lost to Arizona - 2-3. Then they failed to cope with St. Louis - 3-6, and after that, lost to Tampa Bay - 3:5. Only the day before, they ended the series of defeats, beating Detroit - 3:2, climbing the ninth line in the standings of the Eastern Conference.

Boston dominated for the second year in a row. Last season, they scored a record 135 points but left the playoffs in the first round. Apparently, they couldn't find a connection between their great regular season performance and their failure in the Cup battles, so now they're back in the hunt for the trophy. In 13 meetings, Jim Montgomery's men were only once without a point, losing to Detroit 5-4 and Anaheim 5-3 overtime while taking the remaining 11 games. Such a start allowed the Bears to lead the Eastern Conference standings.

These are opponents of completely different levels at the moment. Perhaps every other team in the league, except Vegas, will be considered an underdog against the Bears. Therefore, it will be hard to expect the Canadiens' success. In this case, the statistics of the H2H meetings also speak in favor of the Bruins. They won the last ten consecutive meetings, and in eight matches, the difference in the score was at least two pucks. In the upcoming battle, Jim Montgomery's men are clear favorites.

We pay attention to the performance of Boston in a rivalry with Montreal. Not only have the Bears beaten the Canadiens time and time again, but they've also sent lots of pucks into the Canadiens' net. In the last ten meetings, the Bruins have put 46 pucks in the net, an average of 4.60 per game. The visitors should also prove themselves in the offense this time.
