Both teams are outside the playoff picture entering this contest but Montreal has a little momentum going for them. The Canadiens have three straight wins on the books and have put up 15 goals in that stretch, which is a nice boost for them. Columbus has struggled of late, going just 2-5-3 in their last 10 games and they blew a two-goal lead after two periods against Philadelphia in their previous contest. The Blue Jackets have had their issues slowing down opposing teams as they have surrendered at least four goals seven times in their last 10 games. With Montreal clicking right now, look for the Canadiens to pick up the win here.
