Toronto vs Montreal Prediction: Don't Underestimate the Canadiens

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens match, which will take place on February 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Toronto could be in better shape for the game with Montreal. In the last five meetings, the team got three wins and two losses (18:12), alternating. As for the team's position in the NHL standings, the Leafs are second in the Atlantic Division and fourth in the Eastern Conference with 74 points.

Things are horrible for Montreal. After 55 games, the team has only 50 points, sitting second-to-last in the Eastern Conference and last in the Atlantic Division. Of course, they're not even talking about a playoff run. The Canadiens are simply finishing the season at their usual pace. Montreal comes to Toronto after a 4-0 win over Chicago and a 2-6 defeat to Carolina.

Bookmakers have entirely written off Montreal, which we don't recommend doing, given the unstable form Toronto is approaching in. The Maple Leafs unexpectedly fell to Columbus the night before last, the weakest team in the NHL. On the other hand, Montreal won three of the previous five games, which is a decent result for an outsider. In general, we suggest avoiding the outcome, and betting on the goals, as the average for the hosts - is 5.8, and with the visitors - 6.1.
