Montreal Canadiens - Washington Capitals: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Montreal began its Stanley Cup performance on the road, where it failed to achieve the desired result. In the first match, everything went to defeat in regular time, but in the third period, the Canadians made a comeback, scoring two goals and equalizing the score. However, in overtime, I still had to suffer a disappointing setback with a final score of 2:3. In the return leg, the Canadiens played even worse, allowing the opponent to create a huge number of dangerous chances at their own goal, which led to a second defeat in a row (1:3).

It seemed that, having returned to the home arena, the team would continue to have difficulties with the realization of attacking chances, but this did not happen. In three periods, Montreal scored 40 shots on the capitals' goal and eventually defeated them with a score of 6:3. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since almost all distinguished themselves with effective actions. It is worth noting that in the middle of the second leg, the main goalkeeper Montembo was injured, and Dobes, who replaced him, played very well.

Kirby Dakh and Corey Price will not help their team in the upcoming match. Laine and Montembo are also questionable.
