Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs Columbus Blue Jackets match which will take place on March 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal Canadiens

Montreal has had a horrible season. The Canadiens didn't show anything, and now they are in 15th position in the East standings and last in the Atlantic Division with 62 points. Therefore, the team is just waiting for the end of the regular season. If we talk about the previous meetings of Montreal, everything is also unfortunate here – ten defeats in 12. In the last one, the team lost to Boston (2:4).

Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus is even worse than Montreal. This season, the Blue Jackets did not show anything – they are shamefully in the last positions in the Eastern Conference and Metropolitan Division standings. The team has 53 points in the asset. Although in recent matches, Columbus registered victories after three defeats in a row. First, they beat Washington (7-6 OT), and then the Islanders with a score of 5-4 (OT).

Expert Betting Tips

Betting companies believe that Montreal has a better chance of winning this meeting. We agree with them – even because Columbus scored victories in the previous two matches, they look much worse than the Canadiens for the season. Moreover, the Blue Jackets have a back-to-back with the move – the forces may be insufficient. And Montreal will play at home, with the support of their audience, in front of which the team is already ashamed to lose. We think that now they will be able to get together and earn two points, even considering overtime and a shootout.
