We’re Predicting Under 6 Goals

The betting odds of -110 make plenty of appeal when it comes to Under 6 goals. We’re expecting the scoring to be fairly slow when the Capitals meet the Canadiens.

Caps Have Claimed 7 Wins in 10 on H2H

Washington Capitals have won their previous eight road games. A 3-1 triumph recently occurred at Scotiabank Arena when playing Toronto Maple Leafs. Connor McMichael, Alexei Protas and Nic Dowd scored one goal each. Goalie Charlie Lindgren was red hot in this one, making 20 saves (.952).

Montreal Canadiens won their last game 3-0, making it successive victories. This was a home win at Bell Centre against Nashville Predators. Patrik Laine, Joel Armia and Jake Evans scored one goal apiece. For the shutout, Sam Montembeault made 29 saves.

The Caps have beaten the Habs in the last two encounters. A 4-3 victory at Bell Centre was followed by a 6-3 win at Capital One Arena. The Caps have triumphed in seven of the previous 10 clashes between these teams.
