Jakub Dobes vs. Joseph Woll
It’s an all-Canadian showdown as the Canadiens (39-31-9) visit the Maple Leafs (48-26-4) in what’s always a heated rivalry. Between the pipes, we’ve got Jakub Dobes going for Montreal and Joseph Woll projected for Toronto.
Woll enters this one coming off a rock-solid 34-save performance despite a 3-1 loss to Florida. Don’t let the result fool you—he was sharp. He’s posted a 4-1-0 record with just 10 goals allowed in five of his last seven outings, and he’s proving he’s ready for a playoff run.
Dobes, meanwhile, will handle the second half of a back-to-back. He’s 7-4-2 on the year with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage. He’s shown flashes, including a win against Nashville in his last outing.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Canadiens +1.5
For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Canadiens to pick up on a win over the Maple Leafs and the road. With the moneyline sitting at +191, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Canadiens straight-up.
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 goals, our prediction is that this game will stay UNDER that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on a low scoring game.
