The Montreal Canadiens (31-27-6) are coming off a 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night. They are currently in 5th place in the Atlantic Division and are fighting for a Wild Card spot, sitting just four points behind Columbus. The Canadiens have been led by Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, who have been instrumental in their offensive production. Montreal averages 2.95 goals per game but allows 3.3 goals per game, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities.

The Seattle Kraken (27-34-4) are struggling this season, sitting in 7th place in the Pacific Division. They are coming off a 4-2 loss to the Washington Capitals and have only managed one win in their last five home games. The Kraken average 2.97 goals per game while allowing 3.25 goals per game. Chandler Stephenson and Shane Wright have been key contributors for Seattle, but the team has struggled with consistency, especially on home ice.

Pick: Montreal Canadiens Moneyline (+130)

The Canadiens are coming into this game with momentum after a solid win against Vancouver. Despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Montreal's offense, led by Caufield and Suzuki, has the potential to exploit Seattle's defensive struggles. The Kraken have been inconsistent at home, and their recent form suggests vulnerabilities that Montreal can capitalize on. With the Canadiens showing better recent form and a strong underdog value at +130, they are a solid pick for this matchup.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Cole Caufield Over 0.5 Goals

Caufield has been a consistent offensive threat for the Canadiens, with 32 goals this season. His sharpshooting ability and a 16.3% shooting percentage make him a strong candidate to find the back of the net against a Kraken defense that has struggled to contain top scorers.

2. Nick Suzuki Over 1.5 Points

Suzuki has been a playmaking machine for Montreal, with 46 assists this season. Given Seattle's defensive lapses, Suzuki's ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates makes this a valuable prop to consider.

3. Chandler Stephenson Over 0.5 Assists
