Montreal just keeps on delighting their fans. It was only at the end of last year that the Canadiens got their act together, and now they're unstoppable. They're close to the wild card spot, and ahead of the game, they sit in 11th position in the Eastern Conference standings with 52 points. In the last six games, Martin Saint-Louis' team has won four. But the day before, Montreal didn't do so well in Detroit (2-4).
New Jersey
New Jersey, on the other hand, had a tough time on New Year's Eve. Then the Devils lost to Carolina 2-5, and then, they went on a run where they failed nine out of 11 games. It looked like Sheldon Keefe had it all figured out, but his team ended up in fourth place in the Eastern standings. But now. they've got 60 points, and finally managed to win 5-1 over Boston the day before.

Expert Betting Tips
New Jersey won over Boston the day before, which the fans loved, but it's too early to say if the team's in the clear after their crisis. Now, the opponent is very solid – Montreal has been transformed recently, and at home, for the last seven games, they've only lost in regulation time once. The Canadian club has won seven out of ten previous meetings, and they're really pushing for the wild card, so every point could be crucial. We think the hosts can at least not lose to the visitors after three periods.
