Montreal Canadiens vs Florida Panthers: The Panthers will win their fifth consecutive head-to-head encounter

Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs Florida Panthers match, which will take place on April 30. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Montreal had a terrible regular season. After the change of head coach and the appointment of Martin St. Louis, the Red and Blue recovered a bit. However, they suffered another setback in mid-April, losing nine straight games during the regular season, and didn't look back until the day before, when Montreal defeated the Rangers (4:3). Still, they were already sitting in last place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Florida had a phenomenal regular season, which was the best for the club. The team had a powerful 13-match winning streak in April. The Southerners lost to Tampa Bay and Boston 4:8 and 2:4 near the end of the month, but the day before, they beat Ottawa 4:0. So it looks like Florida will finish first in the Eastern Conference standings with a solid lead over the rest.

 While the Canadiens are hopelessly in last place in the East, the Panthers are in first place in the entire league. That makes for a huge class difference. In addition, the Southerners have lost nine of their last ten games, while their opponents have won 14 of their previous 16 meetings. As a result, we'd have to bet on Florida to win with a handicap (-1.5) for 1.87.

In their 81 meetings, the Panthers have already managed 338 pucks (4.17 average per game). At the same time, Montreal has severe defensive problems, as evidenced by the 317 goals conceded in 81 games (average of 3.91 per game). Therefore, we suggest betting on an individual total over 4.5 for 2.4.

Carter Verhaeghe is having a phenomenal season. He made his NHL debut just three years ago but has already established himself as one of Florida's leading scorers. In 77 games, the Canadian has recorded 55 points (24 goals + 31 assists). Moreover, he played without his usual teammates the day before, but it didn't prevent him from completing a double. In such a situation, it is worth looking at a bet on Carter Verhaeghe To Score for 3.30.
