U.S. TV: ESPN+
Canada TV: Sportsnet; RDS
Time: 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Our final and featured NHL prediction has the Jets trying to get back on track against the Montreal Canadiens. Winnipeg is 4-6 in the last 10 games and is coming off an embarrassing loss to the Sabres. That defeat reportedly led to a players-only meeting. Eric Comrie is expected to get the start while Connor Hellebuyck is still out injured. Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor are tied for the team’s lead in goals with 13.
Montreal is expected to give the start to Jakub Dobes for this game. The Habs are also struggling entering this matchup, with a 3-6-1 record in their last 10 games. This includes a pair of losses in their last two games. Nick Suzuki leads the club in assists (22) and points (30) so far this season.
Both teams are searching for a victory to get on track. However, the hosts should get the two points.
Prediction: Canadiens win 4-1.
