Free Montreal Canadiens vs. Vancouver Canucks NHL Prediction
In our opinion, the odds should be WAY closer to even money, considering all facts between these teams. Montreal’s historically played amazing in Vancouver, and they’re playing as good on the road as at home this year.
Furthermore, The Canucks barely beat Arizona in overtime in their last game, AND almost lost to San Jose in overtime a few games prior. Also, The Canadiens are 7-2 in their last 9 games in this exact situation.
