The NHL calendar for next Tuesday night will start at 05:00 pm CST, being one of the most attractive games the clash between Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators, Canadian teams that are having very similar performances in the current season. With that in mind, this can be considered as a must-win game for both teams, but it’s necessary to note that Montreal is the team with the current worst scenario between them.

When looking deeper at Montreal Canadiens’ performance, this team is currently 1 point behind the Wild Card spots, so after successfully beating Florida Panthers (3-1), some players like Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki are expected to increase their offensive effectiveness. In this matter, having Michael Matheson as the top shooter in 2 out of their last 3 games is concerning, as a defenseman isn’t expected to lead its team in that kind of stats.

Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators have been able to find consistency during their most recent games, currently noting as one of the only 2 teams that were able to win their last 5 games in a row. Taking those numbers into consideration, the gap between them and the Rangers increased to 5 points, an advantage that should keep them more relaxed during the last part of the regular season despite not being contenders for the championship.
