Three games ago against the Vancouver Canucks, the Canadiens scored five goals and that was enough for the victory. Lane Hutson scored a goal and added two assists. Nick Suzuki also had a strong game scoring a goal and adding an assist. Sam Montembault was in goal and wasn’t very good saving 16 of the 20 shots that he faced.

Dallas Stars vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction

The Montreal Canadiens are going to have some major issues in this game. They are on tired legs, and the defense has already been a major problem. The Stars offense is ranked 9th best in the league and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Canadiens' offense is going to struggle to score even a goal, and Dallas will get the job done. Back the Stars on the puck line.
