It’s undeniable that the Montreal Canadiens are one of the most traditional teams in the NHL; however, they haven’t been able to be a competitive team in recent seasons. Despite that, the Canadiens are favorites to win their next Saturday night’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks, a game that will be their third consecutive played away from home.
Additionally, this contest will also be their first clash against a non-Atlantic Division team, so the Canadiens are expected to maintain the good pace that allowed them to defeat the Detroit Red Wings last Thursday night (5-1). In that game, Brendan Gallagher and Nick Suzuki were the best players on the ice, each providing a couple of assists, and it is also worth noting that Jakub Dobes made 30 saves.
On the Chicago Blackhawks’ side, this team isn’t expected to be competitive in the Western Conference, and even though they lost their first two games of the regular season against the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins, they’re expected to put up strong opposition against the Canadiens. In this regard, it’s worth noting that the Blackhawks earned one point as they lost 3-4 against the Bruins in OT, a game in which Andre Burakovsky was able to earn 2 points after scoring a goal and providing one assist.

Our Chicago Blackhawks vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction
As can be seen, neither of these teams is expected to reach playoff spots by the end of the regular season due to their lack of consistency on defense. Despite this, the Blackhawks will have a strong chance to win their first home game of the season.
That said, even though the Montreal Canadiens are favorites to win this game according to the bookmakers’ odds, the reality is that they aren’t expected to dominate the game in Chicago, where the Blackhawks will be motivated in their first home game of the season. Therefore, the pick for the Montreal Canadiens – Chicago Blackhawks is: Highest Scoring Period – Period 2!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
