The Montreal Canadiens are continuing their trip out West with a stop in Los Angeles to face the Kings. This trip has been challenging, to say the least. Despite scoring 10 goals in 2 games, they have allowed 12 goals and hold a record of 0-2. It’s frustrating to lose games when you score 5 goals, but inconsistency in goaltending and a lack of defensive effort have been issues. Montreal has a solid road record of 16-7-7 and ranks in the top 5 in road goals scored, but none of that matters if it cannot defend effectively.

The Kings are coming off a 5-3 victory against the New York Islanders, but don’t let that victory mislead you; they are still a below-average team that struggles to score. Although they have shown slight improvement since making a coaching change, they are still far from performing at the level they need. Historically, the Kings have performed well at home against the Canadiens — but they have struggled as home favorites, with a record of 9-15. Conversely, Montreal has done well against teams that allow more than 2.90 goals per game — with a record of 24-15 in such matchups. Given the dynamic nature of their offense, we’ll give the Canadiens the edge in this matchup.
