Montreal Canadiens (25-24-5) will host Tampa Bay Lightning (28-20-4) on Sunday evening at Centre Bell. The Canadiens have gone off the boil lately after losing six of their last 10 matches. Their previous outing ended in a 6-3 drabbing in the hands of the Kings, and they will look to bounce back against the Devils on Saturday evening at home. The Lightning, on the other hand, have a date with the Senators on Thursday night before playing the Red Wings on Saturday. They boast the third-best attack, averaging 3.5 goals per game. Their defense is also rock solid, allowing an average of 2.8 goals per contest, which is good for 11th. The Lightning will look to continue their recent hot streak after winning five of their last 10 matches. They are fifth in the Atlantic Division, 7 points behind the Panthers.

Our Montreal Canadiens vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
The Lightning have played well against the Canadiens lately, winning 10 of their last 15 meetings. They have picked up four victories in their previous six meetings against the hosts, including two wins in their last three visits to the Centre Bell. However, their recent away record has been less impressive. They have dropped four of their previous five matches on the road and lost on their last visit to the Canadiens. Still, their sharp attack should give them an edge against the leaking Canadiens, who have an average of 2.72 goals against this season. The Canadiens won on the puckline on four of their last five clashes with the Lightning while over goals cashed on five of the previous six occasions. Our prediction for Montreal Canadiens vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Tampa Bay Lightning for the win.
