The most recent game between the Montreal Canadiens and Anaheim Ducks took place on March 3, 2023, with the Ducks securing a narrow 3-2 victory.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Anaheim Ducks Predictions

The Canadiens come into this matchup on a four-game losing streak, looking to turn things around on the road. Despite their recent struggles, Montreal’s captain Nick Suzuki has been a bright spot, leading the team with 6 goals and 10 assists. The Canadiens will need Suzuki and other key players like Jonathan Drouin to step up offensively if they hope to snap their skid against a Ducks team that has had their number in recent seasons.

Anaheim, meanwhile, is also looking to bounce back after three consecutive losses. The Ducks have shown they can be a formidable opponent, especially at the Honda Center, and will rely on the offensive prowess of Frank Vatrano, who tops the team with 12 goals. With both teams ranking in the lower half of their respective conferences in goals scored, this game could come down to which team can capitalize on their scoring opportunities and power play chances.

Defensively, both teams have had their challenges, but the Ducks have been slightly better at keeping the puck out of their net, ranking 9th in the Western Conference. The Canadiens, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference in goals against. The goaltending matchup will be critical, with Anaheim’s John Gibson looking to outduel Montreal’s Sam Montembeault. As these two teams collide, it will be interesting to see if the Canadiens can solve Gibson, who has been a key factor in the Ducks’ recent dominance in this matchup.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Anaheim Ducks Pick

The Anaheim Ducks have proven to be a tough opponent for the Montreal Canadiens in recent history, winning all of their last four encounters. This trend, combined with the Ducks’ home-ice advantage at the Honda Center, where they have a .500 record this season, suggests that they have the upper hand in this matchup. Furthermore, the Ducks’ ability to capitalize on power plays, as seen in their last game against the Canadiens with a 66.7% conversion rate, could be a significant factor, especially considering Montreal’s struggles on the penalty kill. With John Gibson’s solid goaltending and the offensive contributions from players like Frank Vatrano, the Ducks are well-positioned to continue their winning streak against the Canadiens.

While the Canadiens are desperate to snap their four-game losing streak, their recent form does not inspire confidence. The team’s defensive woes, combined with the Ducks’ offensive capabilities, could spell trouble for Montreal. Additionally, the Canadiens’ performance on the road has been less than stellar, with a win percentage of just over .280. Given these factors, and considering the Ducks’ recent form against Montreal, the smart money is on Anaheim to secure another victory in this cross-conference clash.

The Pick: Anaheim Ducks -120. (Bet365)
