• The Canadiens have won the third period in each of their last four games against opponents on a winning streak.

Canadiens vs Stars Prediction

The Dallas Stars are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they’re the better team with the rest advantage. However, as I said in yesterday’s write-up, the Montreal Canadiens pack value in the betting market in their current form. The Habs have won eight of their last 10 games and have made a $100 bettor well over $1,000 during this stretch. The Montreal Canadiens keep getting these massive underdog prices and are cashing them left and right. How long will it last? Who knows? But the Habs have been a big moneymaker these last couple of weeks, and I’m going to keep ridding the hot hand until it runs cold. Give me Montreal and the big plus money.
