Our final game of NHL predictions has the New York Islanders visiting the Montreal Canadiens. Ilya Sorokin is the likely starter for the Islanders, who are 6-4 in their last 10 games. However, the Isles lost to the Ottawa Senators last time out. Mathew Barzal is tops in assists (45) and points (63) for New York.
Jakub Dobes is the probable starter for Montreal, which is 5-4-1 in the last 10 games. However, the Habs were beaten by the Detroit Red Wings in their last game. Cole Caufield reached to 40-goal mark and is the first player since Vincent Damphousse in 1993-94 to reach that benchmark.
