Columbus did not have the best season, scoring only 74 points after 73 rounds. They are unlikely to get into the playoffs; the chances are only on paper. The average win rate of the team is about 50%, and slightly higher in home games.
Montreal failed this season in all respects, few people expected such weak play from the team–51 points in 73 rounds (the last place in the conference), 53 matches lost.
So here we are on the side of Columbus, but it's still better to play it safe with the victory in overtime.
Our prediction: Columbus Blue Jackets to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.57
