Montreal vs Pittsburgh Prediction: Pittsburgh gaining momentum

We have prepared a forecast for the match Montreal vs Pittsburgh, to be held on November 13 in the regular season of the NHL. The start of the meeting is scheduled for 3:00 UTC +3.

Montreal this season looks significantly better than last season, but it's still a long way from perfect. The team has 15 points ahead of the upcoming home game, which puts it in 11th place in the East and sixth in the Atlantic Division. In its last five games, Montreal has lost three times - to Minnesota (1-4), Winnipeg (2-3 after RT) and Vegas (4-6), and then won two times - over Detroit (3-2 after a penalty shootout) and Vancouver (5-2).

In the first half of the back-to-back, Pittsburgh faced a tough Toronto team on the road, defeating them 4-2. In the last game they had a convincing victory over Washington (4:1), but before that there was a seven-game losing streak. Thus, the Penguins have a lot of problems in the NHL standings. At the moment they have only 14 points, so the team only has 14th place in the East and seventh in the Capital Division.

Pittsburgh approaches the game as a favorite, and we completely agree with that. Yes, the Penguins were terrible in the last ten-game stretch, but now their game is noticeably gaining strength. In their last two games the Penguins prevailed over the two stronger teams: 4-1 over Washington and 4-2 over Toronto. Thus we believe that Pittsburgh will win the third game in a row.
