The Anaheim Ducks (34-24-3, 21-9-1 Home) will try to keep the positive home vibes going tonight when they host the Montreal Canadiens (33-18-9, 16-7-7 Away) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. Fans can follow the action on ESPN+ once the puck drops at 9 p.m. EST.
When playing at home, the Ducks have been tough to beat this season (21-9-1), and they’ve certainly been proving that during their current homestand. Dating back to before the break, they won five in a row at home before dropping a game to Colorado last Tuesday, 5-1. But they wasted no time bouncing back, beating the New York Islanders 5-1 the following night. As for the Canadiens, Montreal has been a decent road team this season (16-7-7). But it has dropped two of three games since returning from the break, including their last game: a 7-5 loss to the Sharks in San Jose.
This contest is the first of two games scheduled between the Ducks and Canadiens this season. They’ll face off again in Montreal on March 15. Both teams would qualify for the postseason if the playoffs started today. Montreal currently leads the wild card race in the Eastern Conference, while Anaheim is in first place in the Pacific Division in the West.

Our Anaheim Ducks vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction
In this game, we have two good teams that have been playing well of late facing off. The moneyline for both at DraftKings is set at -110, which tells me either team has a great shot to win this game. That certainly appears to be true on paper. That also tells me this could be a close game, which makes me want to avoid betting on the spread. But the Candiens’ road record indicates that Montreal knows how to put its best foot forward away from home.
