New Jersey is not in the best shape, the team scored only 4 points in the last 5 games, and now the team is in dire need of points, as in the Metropolitan Division there is an extremely hard fight for a playoff spot. New Jersey is currently 7 points behind 3rd place with 1 game to spare.
Montreal is one of the NHL outsiders, this season is going without much success, in the Atlantic Division the team is in the penultimate place, 13 points behind the playoff zone. Montreal's recent games are also going poorly - a series of 4 defeats, so against such an opponent New Jersey has a chance for points.
Prediction: New Jersey to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.5
