Montreal Canadiens vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction

I’m with Montreal here. I just can’t get behind Utah in their current form on the road, as Utah’s just had major issues with putting it all together and defensive issues as well more often than not. The Canadiens are still far from perfect, but I think at home they get one more positive result before heading on this road trip. Give me the Habs at home.
