New Jersey does not show any super results. The team is performing quite mediocrely and is fighting for a playoff spot. Now, they are in seventh position in the standings of the Metropolitan Division with 47 points. The Devils haven't been fairing lately - after two straight losses, they managed to beat Florida 4:1, but then they lost to Boston (0:3).

Pretty much the same can be said about Montreal. The Canadiens also do not shine, and their chances of making the playoffs are even less. After all, they currently have only 43 points and are in sixth place in the Atlantic Division standings. As for Montreal's past matches, after three straight losses, they finally managed to register a victory - with a score of 4:3, the team beat Colorado.

We think New Jersey has more chance to succeed in this meeting. Due to the class and the advantage of their ice, the Devils should earn points. Besides, meetings with Montreal have been easy for them lately - three straight wins. The Canadiens have four defeats in five previous games on the road, so we bet on the home team to win.
