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 Flames while playing on the road. Given the current moneyline odds at +145, I’m placing a wager on the Canadiens to win outright.
Our projections have the Canadiens pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Canadiens, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.
If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
