Montreal Canadiens vs Ottawa Senators prediction
Montreal Canadiens
Senators from Ottawa
Montreal Canadiens
Montreal will play Ottawa in the Canadian derby the following night. The Canadiens are at the bottom of their division with 44 points and can’t even dream of making the playoffs. Besides, absolutely nothing holds up in recent games, defeats to Detroit and Boston have made the team’s deplorable state even worse. The guests are doing very poorly in attack, only 130 goals in 49 games, only Columbus is worse in the conference. Before games against Ottawa, Montreal has a terrible situation with injured players. There are 11 players in the hospital right now. Of the key players, I note the absence of Cofield, who is the team’s second leading scorer, as well as Sean Monaghen, who became one of the team’s leaders after moving from Calgary.

Senators from Ottawa
Ottawa has no roster problems. Tkachuk, Giroud and co arrived in great form for the derby, beating Toronto 6-2 away yesterday and beating the Islanders 2-1 at home a few days earlier. The winning streak allowed the “Senators” to get closer to Detroit and Florida. Yes, there is still a long way to the play-off zone, but why not aim for a few more wins, especially since the calendar allows it, opponents in the next matches are mostly not at the top, so in such a state Ottawa can count on a large number of points.

Forecast
In December, Ottawa and Montreal played their only regular season game and the Senators won 3-2. This is the fifth consecutive victory in their personals, in the preseason Canadian clubs played 4 times a week, and Ottawa always turned out to be stronger, sometimes in overtime, but still. Now Montreal should be easy prey for Ottawa, which has gained momentum. The huge number of injured players takes a heavy toll on the quality of the game, and the head coach has become the hostage of this situation and it is trivial that the first link looks extremely weak, let alone the second or third. I’m betting on Ottawa to win in regulation time, there shouldn’t be a fight.
