Montreal - Pittsburgh: betting tip (cf. 1.65) and bets on the NHL match

Two doubles in one meeting helped Montreal achieve its fourth victory in a row. In Dallas, Cole Caufield and Alex Newhook scored two goals apiece, and the Canadiens won with a score of 5:2. The first period turned out to be especially successful, in which the guests hit Jake Ettinger's goal three times. Caufield scored on the finishing touch and later took advantage of Juraj Slafkowski's pass, and Newhook completed a quick pass to the goal. In the second twenty minutes, he scored a double, after which it became much more difficult for the hosts to return to the game. Philippe Dano set the final score by shooting into an empty net. Noah Dobson scored two assists.

The most interesting thing is that Martin Saint-Louis' team won all four victories on the road. Before the trip to Dallas, they managed to beat St. Louis (2:0), Winnipeg (2:1) and Chicago (4:1). The defense looked especially reliable, conceding only two goals in three meetings. Jacob Fowler even set a club record among rookie goalkeepers by deflecting 46 shots in a dry match against the Blues. Cofield continues to play an important role ahead, and Slafkowski helps his partners create chances. At the same time, Montreal is still doing without Nick Suzuki, but even the absence of the captain did not prevent a team game.

There were only 25 seconds left before the end of the regular time of the match with Utah, when Ben Kindel put Pittsburgh ahead with a score of 3:2. It seemed that victory was almost assured. However, Logan Cooley managed to restore equality a second before the siren, scoring a hat-trick, and in overtime Mikhail Sergachev brought success to the guests (4:3). This outcome was especially disappointing for the Penguins, as the team managed to win back from 0:2. Erik Karlsson reduced the gap, Ricard Rakell scored in the minority, and Evgeni Malkin helped his partners with two assists. However, it was not possible to save the result.

Before that, Dan Muse's team had managed to win twice. First, Pittsburgh defeated Florida (4-0), and then defeated Nashville in overtime (3-2). However, four consecutive defeats followed even earlier, including from Utah (4:5) and Vegas (2:6). Karlsson is quite active in the attack, who regularly gets involved forward and participates in the majority draw. Malkin is also capable of creating chances, and Kindel's return has added opportunities to the team. However, problems with defense periodically negate the efforts of the attackers. This was especially noticeable in the last meeting, where the Penguins lost their advantage literally in the final episode.
