LiontipsFlorida vs Montreal. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 1, 2022).
Command Analysis
Florida bounced back from their three-game losing streak and recorded two confident victories. After beating the Rangers (4:3), Andrew Brunette's men crushed Tampa Bay in a real barn-burner (9:3) and became the highest-scoring team in the East. The Panthers have a fatastic attacking line, which can help them get into the top-3, especially considering the fact that they have a game in hand.
Montreal have lost too many men to injuries and illness, which makes the Canadiens' situation even more complicated. The team sits in the last place in the table with only 18 points to their name. Yesterday, Dominic Ducharme's charges were devastated by Carolina (0:4) away. The visitors have the worst defense in their conference which is one of the main reasons they are failing the season.

Tip and bets
The Panthers are great both in attack and on the defensive. They won the last three home games against Montreal, and we are predicting the same outcome today. Montreal lost half of their main line-up due to different reasons, and we doubt they can hold back the powerful hosts. We think this will be a crushing victory for Florida.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) to Florida
A huge number of goals was scored in the last four head-to-head games in Florida. We think this trend will continue, after all, the Panthers have just hammered nine goals against one of the league leaders. We suggest playing the total over here.
Second wager - total over 6 goals
