Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction: We still prefer Montreal

Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs match will occur on January 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal Canadiens

Montreal hasn't looked like themselves lately. We don't know what Martin St. Louis has been feeding his charges, but they're playing like hell. The Canadiens have won 11 of their last 14 meetings and scored in 12! They had two exemplary games the day before, beating Utah 5-3 and Dallas 3-1. It's no surprise that Montreal's position in the standings is improving - they are already tenth in the Eastern Conference with 48 points, just one point off the coveted Wild Card.

Toronto Maple Leafs

Toronto has been in a slump after a great run of five wins in a row. The Maple Leafs played three awful games, failing on all fronts and losing by three goals. But the day before, the Maple Leafs finally came to their senses and beat New Jersey 4-3 in overtime. Toronto is second in the Eastern Conference with 58 points, seven behind Washington.

H2H Stats

Montreal and Toronto have met twice this season, in October and November, with the Canadiens winning 1-0 and the Maple Leafs winning 4-1.

Expert Betting Tips

The bookmakers' analysts have Toronto as the favorite in this pairing, but we still prefer Montreal. The Canadiens' recent form has been spectacular, with 11 wins in their last 14 games and only a couple of regulation losses. What is more, they are now at home with the support of their fans, where they have already beaten the Maple Leafs this season. Given that the Maple Leafs have failed to win in regulation time in four consecutive meetings, we offer a bet on the home team not to lose after three periods.
