How to Watch: US TV: The Spot; ESPN+. Canada TV: TSN2; RDS.
Time: 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Our second game of NHL predictions is another key contest between the Lightning and the Montreal Canadiens. Andrei Vasilevskiy is the likely starter for the Lightning, who are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. However, Tampa Bay has dropped its last two games in a row and are tied on points with Montreal with 102. Nikita Kucherov has 127 points to lead the Lightning once again.
Jakub Dobes is the confirmed starter for Montreal, which has won nine of its last 10 games entering this possible Stanley Cup Playoff preview. The Habs have only lost to the New Jersey Devils in the last 10 to put themselves into the division title race. Nick Suzuki is only four points off from reaching the 100 mark.
This is another key game. However, Montreal keeps it rolling with another win.
Prediction: Canadiens win 4-3.
