Montreal Canadiens vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/11/25

Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins host the historic Montreal Canadiens for a big matchup on Thursday in the NHL. This is the first of 3 matchups, all taking place within the next 10 days. These teams have performed similarly up to the point and each has its own tight battles within its respective divisions. To get you set for the action, here is our Canadiens vs. Penguins prediction.

The Canadiens are in need of a rebound, after losing 2 straight games and being outscored 10-4 (both on home ice). However, I think the challenge will be too tough in this game. Pittsburgh continues to look like a highly motivated group, as they are 2-0-2 in their last 4 with 2 shootout losses coming to very strong Western Conference teams (Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks). They continue to defy the expectations as a veteran-savvy team. On home ice, they should have lots of energy and extend to a 5-game point streak. For our Canadiens vs. Penguins prediction, take Pittsburgh on the money line.
