LiontipsMontreal vs Colorado. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 3, 2021).
Command Analysis
Montreal remain in terrible form. They won only 2 of the last 9 games: against Pittsburgh and Nashville with the same score of 6:3. Also, the Canadiens put up a fight against Detroit, but the Wings prevailed in overtime.
In almost all other fixtures, the Canadiens suffered devastating defeats. For example, they were crushed by Buffalo (1:4), Washington (3:6) and the Penguins (0:6) in the return game. The main reason for such results is poor defensive play.
Colorado, on the other hand,have been excellent this season. They were on a long winning streak of six games, but in the last match lost to Dallas (1:3) away. The Avalanche's goalie Kuemper didn't have a great game and couldn't save 14% of the shots. In the following game, the Avalanche defeated Nashville with a score of 6:2.
After that, the Avalanche traveled to Toronto, where they got crushed (3:8). This time, the goal was tended to by Johansson, who saved only 80% of the shots.
