AAA'S *10* NHL DIVISION GAME OF THE MONTH >> 22-13 RUN L9 DAYS!
(NHL) Montreal vs. Winnipeg, 02/25/2021 8:00 PM, Score: 3 - 6
Money Line: -130.00 Montreal (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* on MONTREAL

Montreal just made a coaching change and tonight will be Dominique Ducharme’s debut on the bench. It was a little surprising to see Claude Julien get fired as he’d guided the Candiens to an 8-2-2 start. But recently the team has floundered a bit, losing five of its last six games including two to last place Ottawa, who is arguably the worst team in the entire league right now. That losing skid has the Habs now in fourth place in the North Division, well behind first place Toronto, but also only one point back of third place Winnipeg. The Jets are who they’ll face tonight. The game is in Manitoba, but Montreal is still favored, which should tell you right away how the oddsmakers feel about these two clubs. We concur that the Canadiens are better. Both of those losses to Ottawa went past regulation and the Habs now have the most OT + shootout losses in the division. Winnipeg just won its third OT game, so they’ve been a little lucky. They last played on Sunday. When playing with three or more days rest this season, the Jets’ record is 0-3. Montreal leads the league in hits per minute and we expect that to continue under Ducharme. Coaching changes often lead to a short-term “boost.” Play on MONTREAL
