Canadiens vs Devils Prediction

The Canadiens just beat the Devils on the road a couple of weeks ago and have won seven of the last 10 games against them overall. The Habs have cooled off drastically these last couple of weeks, which includes losses in six of their last seven games and a defense that’s back to living in the suck. The Montreal Canadiens have allowed three or more goals in seven straight games. The Devils are just as successful on the road as they are at home. With the Canadiens heading in the wrong direction, this should be another win for the Devils. I’ll lay the juice with the road team.
