LiontipsMontreal - Anaheim: betting tip (kef 2.05) and bets on the NHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Canadiens recently suffered a 2-4 home loss to the San Jose Sharks at the Bell Centre. And although the match started off encouragingly for the hosts: already in the 7th minute of the first period, Cole Caulfield, closing in on a pass from Juraj Slavkowski and Noah Dobson, scored his goal of the season, and the stands literally breathed confidence that victory was near, everything turned into a drama.
The Sharks responded before halftime, and in the second period, Montreal twice failed defensively, allowing Mario Ferraro and Collin Graf to make the score 1:3. Nick Suzuki's goal in the majority with the participation of Demidov and Dobson brought back the intrigue, but the third period turned into a test of character: tight defense and reliable play by Alex Nedelkovich nullified all the attacks of the Canadiens. An attempt to save the match with a sixth field goal ended only with McClean Celibrini's goal into an empty net three minutes before the end. Despite the loss, Montreal remains firmly in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 82 points.
Current form
The Ducks, in turn, could not find the key to the Ottawa Senators' defense at the Canadian Tire Center, losing 0:2. The first period was calm, but the second showed the guests' problems with discipline. Michael Amadio opened the scoring, and Thomas Chabot scored a short-hand after a counterattack in most Ducks, as if to remind him that mistakes are expensive. Despite the active game, Villa Husso's 23 shots and heroic percentage of deflections did not save the team. Anaheim remains in fifth place in the Western Conference with 75 points, but without goals in the last match they look vulnerable.

1.55Tip and bets
Montreal is approaching the home match against Anaheim in the status of one of the strongest teams in the East. After the setback against San Jose, where the Canadiens started but lost, it is clear that the team's game structure remains powerful: active shots, danger in the majority and confidence on home ice. But there are personnel nuances: Brendan Gallagher is not ready for the game yet (day-to-day), Patrick Laine is injured, and the depth of the squad periodically forces the coaching staff to look for compromises. The Ducks have their own problems: Petr Mrazek's season is over, defenseman John Carlson is questionable, and forward Troy Terry is out with an injury. The recent defeat showed that the Ducks have difficulty implementing and coordinating their attacks. The history of face-to-face meetings between Montreal and Anaheim is quite smooth, but the Canadiens' current form and home potential make them the favorite.
Our prediction is that Montreal will win in 2.05
