The Montreal Canadiens vs New Jersey Devils face off on Thursday in an NHL showdown at the Prudential Center. When these two teams faced off on March 27th it was the Devils that won 3-2 in a shootout.
Montreal Canadiens
Montreal comes into this game with a 19-40-11 record overall and away from home they are 9-20-7. It’s been an awful season for the Canadiens and in the last game against the Ottawa Senators they had some major struggles. The defense gave up six goals and that led to the three goals defeat.
Montreal is averaging 2.54 goals while their defense is giving up 3.8 goals per game. The offense and defense are both ranked 31st but in this game if they want to get the job done they are going to need the defense to be good.
The top player for the Canadiens has been Nick Suzuki and he has scored 18 goals and added 33 assists. Outside of Suzuki though, this team isn’t very talented and that has been a big reason for the struggles.
New Jersey Devils
On the other side of this matchup is the New Jersey Devils who sit with a 24-40-6 record overall and at home they have gone 16-16-4. In the last game against the New York Rangers the offense struggled again scoring only a goal and that led to the loss.
The Devils are averaging 3.01 goals per game while their defense 3.67 goals per game. The Devils are ranked 17th best in the league while their defense is ranked 29th. The offense just isn’t great for this team but the defense has been what has really let them down.

Free Montreal Canadiens vs. New Jersey Devils NHL Prediction:
I don’t trust this Canadiens offense and I think they are going to struggle to score against the Devils defense. I also don’t see New Jersey finding a whole lot of offensive success and that is going to lead to this game being lower scoring. There isn’t a strong play on the side, but the under will cash.
