Command Analysis

Montreal Canadiens

Current form
Montreal has been on the decline for a long time, and the losing streak has reached five matches in a row. Initially, the team gave a decent rebuff to its opponents and was twice one step away from victory, but lost out of regular time to the Islanders (3:4 OT) and Colorado (4:5 B). After that, the Canadiens began to suffer defeats over and over again. Due to a terrible defensive game, St. Louis (1-6), Philadelphia (4-6) and Carolina (1-4) had to give up.
Few people could have expected that visiting Florida they would be able to break the series of failures by winning a landslide victory over the clear favorite with a score of 4:2. The Canadians finally played reliably defensively, not allowing the opponent to realize their attacking potential to the fullest. Striker Suzuki and defender Hutson also played a great game, scoring three goals each. It is worth noting that even a long series of failures did not significantly affect the position of the club. He continues to cling to the eighth place in the Eastern Conference table.

Florida Panthers

Current form
Florida has completed a three-match home series, which it started very successfully. In the first match, the team faced Pittsburgh and with great difficulty wrested Victoria from the obvious outsider in a shootout (4:3). Success was achieved mainly due to the efforts of the attacking line, and in particular, it is worth noting the striker Reinhart, who scored a double. Next, the Panthers hosted Utah and this time they also played actively in attack, but difficulties arose with the implementation of the moments. It came to overtime, where the Panthers still achieved the desired result (2-1).
It seemed that the team would continue to delight the fans with success, but in the duel with Montreal they had to unexpectedly lose, and with a two-goal difference (2:4). This time, goalkeeper Bobrovsky was not so reliable, reflecting only 86% of shots. At the moment, Florida occupies the fifth place in the Eastern Conference table, with a gap of only three points from the second position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ekblad, Kulikov and Tkachuk remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Florida scores 3.2 goals per game.

In four face-to-face matches out of five, the teams scored a goal in each period.
1.45Tip and bets
Montreal has been showing excellent results at home and consistently earning points for six consecutive matches. As you can see, Florida has started a serious recession, which is why the team is struggling to cling to points. It is unlikely that the Panthers will be able to prove themselves at their best, playing on the road. It is also worth noting the fact that the Canadiens have not lost in four face-to-face meetings in a row. It is for this reason that we suggest taking advantage of an unreasonably high coefficient and betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our betting tip is that Montreal will not lose in 1.93
Bet on the total
In the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Montreal cannot boast of a reliable defensive game and tries to rehabilitate itself through active actions in attack, which makes the matches productive.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.77
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Montreal, with the support of its home crowd, is quite capable of creating difficulties for Florida at the beginning of the meeting. We believe that the hosts, at least, will not lose in the opening segment, which is what we suggest betting on.
Betting Tip - Montreal will not lose in the first period for 1.50
