New Jersey's results this season leave a lot to be desired, if last season the team finished in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, now New Jersey can't even get into the playoff zone.
Montreal has a tough battle with Tampa Bay and Detroit for a playoff spot this season, currently the Canadiens are 6 points behind, but have a game in the zone, so now the team has a very important calendar stretch.
Nominally New Jersey looks the favourite, but the team is not in the best shape, so let's bet on the total, as New Jersey's performance is still at a high level, and Montreal also has an average total of 6 pucks.
Prediction: at least 6 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 5.5" bet, odds 1.5
