LiontipsMontreal vs Columbus. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 31, 2022).
Command Analysis
In the last outing, Montreal once again proved the status of one of the main outsiders in the NHL: the Canadiens suffered a devastating defeat to Edmonton (2:7), showing poor play on the defensive and allowing the opponents to create a large number of scoring chances. Goalie Montembeault was substituted off in the third period after conceding six goals.
Before that, the Montreal Canadiens played Anaheim at home. The hosts put up a good fight and were close to earning one point, but they failed to level the score in regulation.
Columbus were on a three-game losing streak, but they broke it by beating the Rangers (5:3). Defenseman Werenski and forward Jenner scored three points each in that game.
Before that, Columbus suffered crushing defeats to Pittsburgh (2:5) and Calgary (0:6). In both matches, the defensive line acted poorly, for example, the Flames were allowed to take 62 shots on the Jackets' goal.
