San Jose Sharks vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction: Two Outsiders Cannot Be Predictable

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Montreal Canadiens match will take place on March 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

San Jose earned three points in five extreme games, beating Seattle 4-0 and being defeated outside of regular time by Chicago (3:4). However, this series of failures had no meaning in the team's position in the Pacific Division standings. The team does not qualify for the playoffs and finishes the season. At the moment, the Sharks are the penultimate with 48 points scored.

Montreal is the penultimate team in the Eastern Conference. For 59 games played this season of the NHL regular season, the Canadiens earned 54 points – 25 wins, 34 losses, four of which, taking into account overtimes and shootouts, with a total score of 163:214. Montreal will play with San Jose after two wins – 5:2 over New Jersey, 5-2 over Philadelphia, and defeats against Ottawa (2-5).

Montreal looks better than the Sharks, but the bookmakers prefer the hosts, which, frankly, misleads us. The meeting of two outsiders cannot be predictable, so we propose to play for effectiveness. In the last four full-time games, the opponents scored less than 7 goals for two.
