Montreal - Utah: betting tip (cf. 2.00) and bets on the NHL match

Montreal is holding the start of the championship quite confidently, despite serious personnel losses. In recent meetings, the team has beaten St. Louis (2:0), Dallas (5:2) and Pittsburgh (5:4). Cole Caufield continues to be the main sniper, and young hockey players are getting more and more playing time. However, the absence of Nick Suzuki and Ivan Demidov significantly limits the possibilities of attack, especially when playing in the majority.

The meeting with Winnipeg was supposed to end with another victory. By the middle of the third period, the hosts were leading 4-0, with Caufield scoring a double. However, in the end, the defense completely stopped coping with the opponent's attacks. The Jets scored four goals in just over two minutes, and in overtime, Dylan Samberg brought them a 5-4 victory. Now Martin San Louis's team will have to prove that this failure was an accident.

Utah is performing quite well on the road, although the results of recent matches have been mixed. After defeating Pittsburgh (4-3 OT), the team unexpectedly lost heavily to Philadelphia (3-6). At the same time, Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller continue to create chances, and Mikhail Sergachev regularly helps the attack. In ten previous meetings, the Russian defender scored 12 points, remaining one of the most useful hockey players on the team.

They managed to improve in Toronto, where Mammoth defeated the local Maple Leafs with a score of 3:2. Nick Schmaltz scored the decisive goal in the third period, realizing the majority. This victory was the tenth this season, but it has not yet been possible to completely solve the problems with the defense. Utah has conceded 54 goals in 16 matches, so even with good performance, it is often forced to fight hard until the last minutes.
