How to Watch: US TV: Scripps Florida; ESPN+. Canada TV: TSN2; RDS.
Time: 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Our second game of our NHL predictions has the Florida Panthers trying to avoid the season sweep against the Montreal Canadiens. Sergei Bobrovsky is the probable starter for Florida, which has been officially eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Panthers are 4-6 in their last 10 games, including losses in their last two consecutive games. Mackie Samoskevich has netted four goals in his last 10 games played.
Jakub Dobes is the expected starter for the Canadiens, who are 8-2 in the last 10 games. However, Montreal was beaten by the New Jersey Devils last time out. The Habs clinched a postseason berth on Sunday and are looking to secure home ice in the first round. Cole Caufield is only one goal away from reaching the 50 mark for Montreal.
Florida is playing out the string. However, the Panthers will still give the Habs a tough game.
Prediction: Canadiens win 4-2.
