Montreal is also dealing with a handful of injuries, notably to top-six defensemen David Savard, Michael Matheson, and Kaiden Guhle. This all sounds pretty damning for the Canadiens, but sometimes you need to look at a bet through a different lens for it to make sense. Rather than viewing this as a bet on Montreal, you can begin to see the light by viewing it as a bet against the Nashville Predators as a heavy favorite. Nashville is certainly the better team in this matchup, but that isn’t really a high bar to clear right now. And the Preds are not clearing it by a wide margin. The Predators have gone 5-5-4 since Dec.
Juuse Saros is one of the best goaltenders in the NHL and his deputy, Kevin Lankinen, has been impressive in his first season with the Preds, but the fact that Nashville has only gone 5-5-4 over its last 14 games despite getting the best goaltending in the entire league in that span tells you where this team is at right now.
