4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Canadiens +1.5
When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Canadiens to defeat the Avalanche while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +155, I’m placing a wager on the Canadiens to win outright.
If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Canadiens winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Canadiens straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.
With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to stay under that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the UNDER.
