Chicago vs Montreal Prediction: the Canadiens are Doing Amazing

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Chicago vs Montreal, which will take place on January 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago

Chicago's campaign has been pretty disappointing. They've changed their head coach, and brought in Anders Sorensen, but that only had a temporary effect. Now, the team is back on track, still losing to everyone. It's a bit weird, because the team is actually pretty good. But Chicago is in last place in the Western Conference standings with 26 points. They've had a run of five straight losses, including a 2-6 defeat to St. Louis in the Winter Classic the day before.

Montreal

Montreal, on the other hand, hasn't been doing their best lately. There were no questions to Martin St-Louis at all, as his resources are extremely modest. But even with such limited assets, the coach gets the most out of them. So, in a run of seven games, the Canadiens won six. The day before, they beat Florida 4-0, Tampa Bay 5-2, and even Vegas 3-2. They've also made some big improvements in the Eastern Conference standings, sitting 12th with 37 points, but they've still got some work to do if they want to make it into the wild card.

Expert Betting Tips

We're not giving Chicago any chance in this game. The Blackhawks are going downhill fast, and their recent run of five straight losses is proof of that. Anders Sorensen isn't playing well, and it looks like the season's pretty much over for them. But Montreal is doing amazingly well. The Canadiens are on fire right now, and after a brief Christmas break, they absolutely crushed the Panthers, the Lightning, and even the Golden Knights. Chicago probably won't be much of an issue, especially since they've already beaten them twice this season. Now, we're just waiting for the final victory of the visitors.
