New Jersey Devils vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks

The NHL regular season is still keeping the doors opened for most of the teams to get a spot in the playoffs, so even teams like Montreal Canadiens still have some chances of qualifying despite their awful performance throughout the season. With that in mind, the Canadiens will face New Jersey Devils next Saturday noon, in a match in which they obviously are the underdogs.

When looking closer at both teams’ performances, Montreal Canadiens were only able to win 1 out of their last 5 games, currently highlighted as the worst defensive line in the Atlantic Division with 185 conceded goals throughout the season. For this game, it’s important to note that Montreal will return home after 3 away games, so even though their performance has been terrible throughout the season, a sold-out Bell Centre is expected to receive them.

On New Jersey Devils’ case, this team is having their worst performance of the season, a fact that can easily be ratified when looking that they couldn’t score more than 3 goals during their last 3 games in a row. With that in mind, the pressure is on as they only are 6 points above the ninth spot of the Eastern Conference, so the possibility of losing their playoff spot is real.
