Prediction for the NHL New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens match, which will take place on January 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Canadiens' meeting with the New York Islanders will end after this text is published. Before that, Martin St. Louis had a good stretch, winning two out of three games. Montreal beat such formidable opponents as St. Louis (5:4) and Nashville (4:3). Previously, however, the Canadiens had lost seven straight games. The legendary team is currently in the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference standings, ahead only of Columbus and unlikely to solve any tournament problems.

The team has been on a roll lately. In their previous six games, the Rangers have won five games, including such strong opponents as Dallas, Carolina, and Minnesota. By the end of the first half of the regular season, New York seems to be reaching its level. The Rangers have already moved up to fifth place in the Eastern Conference and are only four points, or two wins, behind even second place.

The Canadiens have lost their last five road games, allowing at least four goals per game. Montreal will also have a back-to-back after a tough meeting with the New York Islanders. So the Rangers, who are also on a roll right now, will hardly have any trouble scoring the following two points. Most likely, the team of Gerrard Gallant will win within 60 minutes and please their fans with many goals.
