Sharks vs. Canadiens Odds & Betting Predictions - February 28, 2025

Montreal vs San Jose, two fairly young teams who know how to score in bunches but lack on the back end. Loving the over in this game, with the push potential of 6, which is very nice here. MTL and SJS both rank in the bottom 10 of goals against in their last 10 games. SJS ranks dead last at 4.13 goals allowed per game, while MTL ranks 7th worst at 3.5 goals per game allowed. If you zoom out and look on the season, you get the worst and 4th worst ranked defenses in hockey here, with both allowing over 3.5 goals per game on the season. SJS games have seen 37 goals across their last 5 road games played, good for nearly 9 per game, while MTL games have gone over in 4 of their last 6 with 39 goals across their last 6 games as well. Goaltending has been a pain point for both teams here this season and while no goalie is confirmed - I think both teams will struggle in net today helping us get there.
