Montreal Canadiens vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/06/26

The Anaheim Ducks are in scorching-hot form as they prepare to host the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night. The Olympic break did nothing to slow down the Ducks, who were 9-2-0 in their last 11 games prior to the intermission. Since returning, Anaheim is 4-1-0 after walloping the Islanders 5-1 on Wednesday. There is no reason to think that a downturn in level is coming, so my Canadiens vs Ducks pick is for the home team to prevail. Anaheim has been especially impressive at home, sporting a 21-9-1 record in its own building this season. It is 9-1-0 in its last 10 home games.

Montreal is a solid 33-18-9 this season, but it has not been able to sustain any consistency of late. The Habs have alternated wins and losses over their last 6 outings and they most recently surrendered a ridiculous 7 goals in a setback against San Jose on Tuesday. Sam Montembeault will be in net for this matchup and he has been terrible in 2025-26 (3.37 goals-against average, .874 save percentage). The Canadiens have lost 3 of his last 4 starts and he has allowed fewer than 3 goals only once in his past 6 appearances. It’s surprising that this matchup is priced evenly; Anaheim should without question be favored.
