Pittsburgh Penguins vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction: Will the guests suffer their eighth loss in a row?

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Montreal Canadiens match, which will take place on March 15. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Pittsburgh is showing good hockey this campaign. On the eve of the game, the Penguins are in seventh place in the standings in the East and fourth place in the Metropolitan Division; they have 78 points. It's still too early for the team to relax, as no one has guaranteed them a playoff spot. We should note that after a devastating 5:1 victory over Philadelphia, Pittsburgh beat the Rangers in overtime (3:2).

Montreal, unlike Pittsburgh, already has no chance at the playoffs. The Canadiens have already given up, sitting in 15th place in the Eastern Conference standings and eighth in the Atlantic Division standings. The team has only 58 points, which is relatively low. As for Montreal's last few games, their record is dismal, with seven straight losses. And five of them were overtime losses. The day before, they lost to Colorado 4:8.

Bookmakers believe that Pittsburgh is the favorite of the upcoming game, and we agree with that. After two wins in a row, the Penguins will be on heat. Moreover, they will play with the support of their fans, and every point is worth its weight in gold for them - they still need to make it to the playoffs. Montreal already has no tournament motivation, and they have a long losing streak. We think the hosts will make a confident victory in this match, so we offer a bet on them with a minus handicap.
