Montreal - San Jose: betting tip (cf. 1.78) and bets on the NHL match

Montreal beat Buffalo for the second time in a few days, and again had to spend a lot of effort. In the first meeting, the Canadians won by shootout (4:3), although they missed a two-goal advantage in the third period. Martin Saint-Louis's team then lost to Washington with a score of 4:5, despite Josh Anderson's double. Therefore, returning to the home court turned out to be especially important.

The replay with Buffalo again ended with a 4-3 victory, only now in overtime. The visitors opened the scoring, but goals from Zachary Bolduc, Alexander Texier and Cole Caufield allowed Montreal to take the lead. However, it was not possible to maintain the advantage. But already in the first minute of extra time, Caufield took advantage of the opponent's mistake and brought the hosts two points. Jacob Fowler blocked 23 shots, and Juraj Slafkowski scored two assists. The offense is working well, although the defense is still making too many mistakes.

In the last meeting, San Jose could well count on a positive result. On the road against Toronto, the visitors opened the scoring in the first period thanks to Mason Marchment and held a minimal advantage for a long time. Yaroslav Askarov regularly helped out his partners, but the hosts could not take advantage of their moments.

But in the second twenty minutes, Auston Matthews restored equality, and at the beginning of the third period, Gavin McKenna realized the majority. In the end, Nick Paul sent the puck into an empty net, setting the final score 3:1 in favor of Toronto. Askarov made 29 saves, but it wasn't enough. For the Sharks, the defeat was the fourth in the last five matches. Earlier, the team lost to Boston (3-6), and then twice failed to maintain the necessary advantage in regular time. McClean Celebrini is still dangerous, but the stability of the rest of the attackers is clearly lacking.
