Command Analysis
Montreal Canadiens
CanadaCurrent form
Montreal ended its four-match away streak, which ultimately proved to be a failure. The team started a series of failures away from Edmonton, where it was one step away from victory, but suffered an insulting defeat in overtime (2:3). The Canadiens were also able to impose a decent fight on Calgary, but only due to a reliable defensive game, as the word failed to materialize at all, losing dry (0:1). The only away victory was won by the St. Louis team over Vancouver (4:2) due to excellent performance in attack. In particular, it is worth praising striker Slafkowski, who scored the puck and provided two assists.
After scoring the points, the team went to visit a rival of its level, Seattle. Everything went to the second victory in a row, but in the third period Montreal allowed the opponent to realize numerical superiority twice, and as a result was defeated in overtime (4:5). Goalkeeper Dobes showed his worst side, reflecting only 85% of shots. Even despite such an unsuccessful streak, the team is still very close to the playoff zone, which is only one point behind.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dakh, Gule and Price will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. The Army is also in question.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Montreal concedes 3.3 goals per match.
- Canadians completed 22% of the majority attempts
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida continues to be in great shape, thanks to which it was able to earn a huge number of points. The team's winning streak reached six matches in a row, and all of them ended in regular time. After another dry victory at home, the team went to perform on the road, where they met with Boston and could not easily cope with the pressure of the opponent. As a result, I had to fail with a score of 2:3. This time, goalkeeper Bobrovsky did not play reliably enough, reflecting only 87% of shots.
As expected, this setback did not affect the overall morale of the club, and it continued to achieve success. The Panthers played away to Toronto, where they regained the lost points, winning in regular time (3:2). In particular, it is worth praising striker Bennett, who scored a double. Thanks to the form and constant victories, Florida was able to climb as far as the second place in the Eastern Conference table, although the gap from the leader is still nine points. A distinctive feature of the team remains its excellent performance in attack, which, combined with a strong defense, gives excellent results.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ekblad, Marchand and Tkachuk will not be able to participate in the upcoming match, while Gadzovic remains in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the Panthers score 3.3 goals per game.
- Florida gets an average of 10 penalty minutes per match.

2.36Tip and bets
Montreal returned to the home arena after an unsuccessful away series, but it is unlikely that it will be able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, as one of the strongest clubs in the league stands in the way at the moment. Indeed, Florida has gained amazing form, which allows it to cope with absolutely any rivals in its path. It is hard to believe that the Panthers will face serious resistance from a clear outsider, so we are betting on a confident victory for the guests with an excellent coefficient.
Our betting tip is a Florida victory in 1.88
Bet on the total
As we have already noted, Florida boasts a very productive game, but Montreal has serious defensive problems, which is the main reason for the club's failures. The Canadiens will have to play on opposite courses if they want to grab points, and this will lead to a lot of abandoned goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.88
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Florida, due to its significant superiority over its opponent, will play number one and create pressure on Montreal from the first minutes of the match. We believe that the owners of the ice will not be able to cope with the pressure and will allow the Panthers to gain an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Florida won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.56
