Dallas - Montreal: betting tip (cf. 2.05) and bets on the NHL match

Dallas' five-game winning streak unexpectedly ended with a crushing defeat by New Jersey with a score of 1:5. Moreover, serious problems arose already in the first period, when the guests managed to score twice. The main character of the match was Niko Hishir, who scored a double, and Jack and Luke Hughes also made a significant contribution to the opponent's performance. The Stars scored only 17 shots on target and almost failed to create full-fledged pressure on Connor Hellebuyck's goal. The goalkeeper was playing his first match after moving to New Jersey and reliably coped with his task.

Before this setback, the team was gaining points quite confidently. They managed to beat the Islanders 6-3, as well as beat Winnipeg (3-2 OT) and Boston (3-2 OT). Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen performed especially well up front, capable of creating dangerous moments even against an organized defense. Jason Robertson also regularly benefits the offense and is notable for his good execution. At the same time, the last match showed that if the leading links are not active enough, Dallas can have serious difficulties. Now it is important for the hosts to return to the previous level of play.

For the Canadiens, the previous meeting with St. Louis ended not only with a 2-0 victory, but also with a new club record. Jacob Fowler blocked all 46 shots, setting the record for the most saves in a dry match among Montreal's rookie goalkeepers. Moreover, in the third period, the opponent made 24 shots at once, but failed to score. The winning goal in the second twenty minutes was scored by Zachary Boldyuk, who scored against his former team. Later, Florian Jackay increased the advantage by scoring the first goal of his NHL career. Thus, the guests kept the gates intact and achieved their third victory in a row.

Before the trip to St. Louis, the team beat Winnipeg 2-1 in the Heritage Classic, and previously defeated Chicago (4:1). Montreal has improved significantly in defense, as it has conceded only two goals in the last three meetings. At the same time, the attack has quite dangerous performers, among whom Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkowski stand out. However, the absence of the injured Nick Suzuki continues to limit the team's capabilities. But even without a captain, the Canadians play well-organized hockey and regularly find ways to achieve victories.
