4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Canadiens +1.5
When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Capitals to come out with a win against the Canadiens while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -168, I’m placing my bet on the Capitals to win outright.
For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Canadiens to cover. Even if the Capitals secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Canadiens should cover the puck line.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
