Can the Canadiens Bounce Back

The Canadiens in the last game faced off against Dallas Stars and the offense didn’t score enough. The offense only scored two goals and that led to the one goal defeat. Nick Suzuki did score a goal but it wasn’t enough. The Canadiens are averaging 2.73 goals while their defense is giving up 3.45 goals per game. The offense is ranked 28th while the defense is ranked 27th. Nick Suzuki has scored 16 goals and added 31 assists so far this season. In this game, the Canadiens need the offense to get out to a fast start.

Blues vs Canadiens

I don’t think both teams defenses are going to play that well, but I do think both teams are going to struggle to get quality scoring chances. Both of these offenses haven’t been great this season, and it’s going to be no different here. The Canadiens are averaging 2.73 goals and they are going to struggle to even score two goals here. There will only be three or four goals scored total and the under is going to cash.
