The Anaheim Ducks conclude their 4-game road trip with a visit to Montreal to face the Canadiens. This matchup comes on the tail end of a back-to-back, with the Ducks playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, which may lead to some fatigue. They lost 2-0 to Ottawa less than 24 hours prior, creating few scoring opportunities. While they are capable of scoring well at home, their performance on the road has been different.

The Canadiens come into this game after a 4-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. Although they didn’t play poorly, it’s true that sometimes the better team doesn’t come out on top. Montreal is the 2nd-highest-scoring team in the league, behind only Colorado, and with the Ducks missing Radko Gudas due to suspension and John Carlson still sidelined, the Canadiens might find more open space on the ice.

In their first meeting, these teams combined for 11 goals, but this time, Jacob Fowler will be in goal for the Ducks — representing a clear upgrade in net. He has shown that he can make crucial saves, something the Canadiens have struggled to achieve consistently. Although both teams are likely to generate scoring chances, the strong goaltending should help keep this game relatively low-scoring.
