Our second and featured game of NHL predictions has another chapter in the old rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins. Jakub Dobes is the confirmed stater for the Habs, who are 5-3-2 in their previous 10 games. Montreal has struggled at the defensive end over the last month. Lane Hutson has been playing well with six points in his last 10 games.
Jeremy Swayman will get the start for the Bruins, who have also lacked consistency as of late. Boston is 5-4-1 in its last 10 games but have dropped three of its last four games entering this matchup. Morgan Geekie and David Pastrnak are tied for the team’s lead in points with 39. However, Geekie already has 25 goals so far this campaign.
These games are always tough to read, but Boston should get the home win.
Prediction: Bruins win 3-2.
