The Nick Suzuki-led Montreal Canadiens are on their way to Massachusetts to take on the David Pastrnak-led and NHL’s best Boston Bruins in an Atlantic Division rivalry competition at TD Garden in Boston on Thursday evening.

 

Montreal is placed dead last in the Atlantic Division and second to last in the Eastern Conference with a 28-37-6 overall standing on 62 points and a 13-20-3 road record for the year.

 

The Canadiens split a back-to-back game versus the Tampa Bay Lightning following a 3-2 win at home on Tuesday.

 

Goalkeeper Sam Montembeault earned the win for Montreal with 31 saves for a .939 save percentage while Defenseman Mike Matheson and Center Kirby Dach netted a goal apiece in leading the Canadiens in the winning effort.  

 

In beating the Lightning, Montreal’s best player Center Nick Suzuki failed to net a puck but managed to dish out two assists in helping his teammates punch a goal which gave him a total of 55 points on the season.

 

The Canadiens were butchered with injuries this season which is the main reason for their poor performance but Montreal, fortunately, landed in 5th place with the highest probability of getting the first overall pick in this year’s entry draft.

 

The Canadiens will have their chance of rebuilding their lineup with the possible acquisition of Connor Bedard’s services next season.

  

The totals went OVER in 4 of Montreal’s last 5 matches while the Canadiens are 2-9 straight up in their last 11 outings played.

 

The Montreal Canadiens are 0-8 SU in their last 8 contests played versus Boston and 1-5 straight up in their last 6 road games.

Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins Predictions 3/23/2023

 

The Boston Bruins stayed on their home ice looking for their fifth straight win when hosting the weak Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

 

Boston already clinched a playoff berth with a 54-11-5 overall standing, scored a total of 113 points, and posted a 28-3-3 record at home while compiling a total of 265 goals and giving away 151 for a goal difference of +114 for the season.

 

The Bruins won four of the last six matches played with four wins in a row including a 2-1 home victory against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.

 

Jake DeBrusk scored the winning goal for Boston assisted by Brad Marchand and Hampus Lindholm while Goaltender Linus Ullmark led the defenses with 40 saves for a .976 save percentage in the victory.  

 

The Boston Bruins overwhelmed the entire hockey world after the team came up as the league’s best despite all the doubts that they can make it this season after their core players are aging and became a different team that was competing in the 2019 Stanley Cup finals.

 

However, the Bruins proved that their critics were wrong after they took the lead in the league from the start of the season to date tallying 113 points with 13 points ahead of the Carolina Hurricanes in second place.

 

This season, Boston broke the record for the fastest team to reach a 100-point mark in the whole NHL history.

 

The totals went OVER in 4 of the Bruins’ last 6 outings while Boston is 15-3 straight up in its last 18 games played.

 

The Boston Bruins are 6-1 SU in their last 7 home matches played and 4-1 straight up in their last 5 contests played when playing at home versus Montreal. 

 

Montreal Canadiens vs. Boston Bruins. The NHL Pick for this contest is Boston -500.

 

In spite of the Canadiens’ massive victory against the Lightning, the Bruins will crush them into pieces as the Habs are one of the worst teams in the league while Boston is the current leader in the entire league.

 

The Bruins will pick up their fifth straight win without a sweat as they are the NHL’s best. The prediction: Boston Bruins will win 6-1.
