Jets vs Canadiens Prediction
In this Jets vs Canadiens Prediction, the Canadiens are coming as -200 home favorites. This one is pretty straight-forward. You have a red-hot Canadiens team that is 8-2 in its last 10 games and has scored 10 goals in its last two games combined, going up against a terrible Jets squad that has nine consecutive losses, combining both a terrible offense and a terrible defense. The Jets have scored two goals or less in seven of their last eight games, while they have allowed 5+ goals in each of their last four games, while having a bottom-10 penalty kill this season. I expect the hosts to have a field day today, so take the Canadiens to win this one comfortably and cover the puckline.
The Canadiens are 6-2 in their 8 meetings against the Jets and are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Montreal. Under is 8-2 in their last 10 meetings.
