Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Montreal Canadiens: Betting Odds
Pittsburgh had a successful campaign last season. They finished third in the division with an overall record of 46-25, along with 11 overtime losses. However, their post-season was cut short after they lost to the New York Rangers in the first round.
The way the 2022-23 NHL season started for Pittsburgh, it has really been a struggle for them to make a mark in the division. They have registered six wins and six losses so far, along with two overtime losses as well. In the process, the team scored 50 goals and conceded 47, and earned 14 points.
Montreal were sub-par last season and finished bottom of the division with an overall record of 22-49, along with 11 overtime losses. This season seems to be no different and even though they are not bottom-dwellers this time, there is simply no joy for their fans.
A two-game winning streak has placed them sixth in the division with seven wins and six losses to their name, including an overtime loss. The team has managed to score 42 goals so far while conceding 44. The Canadiens have earned 15 points in total.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Montreal Canadiens: Prediction
These teams are well matched with a 5-5 record between them in their last 10 encounters. The majority of these games have been low-scoring, cagey contests. However, Montreal's current form is a tad better and they also have home advantage. Expect the Canadiens to triumph over Pittsburgh tonight.
Final Prediction: Montreal (+135)
