We open up<\/a> NHL predictions with our featured matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> and the Montreal Canadiens<\/a>. Joseph Woll<\/a> is the expected starter for Toronto but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Maple Leafs are 3-5-2 in their previous 10 games, including seven consecutive losses. William Nylander<\/a> leads the team in assists (38) and points (59) so far this campaign.<\/p>\n

Jakub Dobes<\/a> is the confirmed starter for this game as Montreal will turn to Samuel Montembeault against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night. The Habs come into this game on a 6-1-3 run in the last 10 games. However, Montreal has dropped three of their last five games entering this meeting with its old rivals. Cole Caufield<\/a> is three goals away from hitting the 40-mark with 37 so far.<\/p>\n

The tables have turned, and it’s Montreal on the rise. It will be a tough game, but the Habs will get the victory.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Canadiens win 3-2.<\/em><\/p>\n
