Montreal Canadiens vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks

One of the less attractive games in the NHL schedule for next Friday corresponds to the clash between Chicago Blackhawks and Montreal Canadiens, however it’s totally logical to have Montreal as the big favorites to win this game due to the capabilities they´ve shown along the season in comparison to Chicago. Even so, playing at the United Center still brings a big uncertainty for any team in the league.

With that in mind, Chicago Blackhawks are expected to cut off with their streak of 5 losses in a row, being remarkable to note that they’re the only team that has lost its last 5 games in a row in regulation time within the Western Conference. In addition, they also are well known as the worst defensive in the Central Division with 129 condeded goals.

Meanwhile, Montreal Canadiens have only lost 1 out of their last 5 games, a very positive streak that has allowed them to get only 3 points away from the playoffs’ spots. Nonetheless, they still remark as the second worst defensive in the Atlantic Division after conceding 127 goals throughout the season.
