LiontipsMinnesota vs Montreal. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 25, 2022).
Command Analysis
Minnesota are one of the leaders in the West. Currently, the team is in 4th place in the table. In the last six games they consistently earned points. After a bitter defeat to Colorado (3:4 SO), the Wild beat Chicago twice (5:1 and 4:3 OT). At home, Minnesota lost only three games in regulation this season, and they averaged four goals per game.
Montreal, on the other hand, are the outsiders in the East. They are 5 points behind Ottawa and probably won't be able to catch up as they played five more games. Recently, Montreal upset Dallas (5;3), but after that they already suffered two defeats. The Canadiens lost to Vegas (3:4 ОТ) and Colorado (2:3 ОТ). Only in 3 out of 24 games away, Ducharme's charges won in regulation. On average, they conceded four goals per game.
