Vancouver - Montreal: NHL match betting tip
Vancouver will continue its home series on March 12. This time, the team will host Montreal, which has begun a natural decline. Will the killer whales be able to take advantage of this? Our experts have prepared a betting tip in which they will answer this question, as well as highlight the most relevant rates
Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver made a great start to the home series with a 3-2 victory over Anaheim. The Canucks allowed their opponent to take advantage in the first period, but in the second twenty minutes they scored three goals, which allowed them to succeed. In particular, it is worth praising defender Gronek, who provided two assists. The team was able to consolidate its success in a match with a much more serious opponent, in the person of Minnesota, gaining the upper hand with a score of 3:1. Goalkeeper Lankinen made a huge contribution, reflecting 37 shots out of 38, which did not allow the Wild to make a comeback.
However, this is where the killer whales' victories came to an end. I had to fight a clear favorite, in the person of Dallas, and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. The opponent created few dangerous chances, but the accuracy of his shots was at the highest level. Vancouver could not respond in kind. Goalkeeper Lankinen also played poorly this time, deflecting only 83% of shots. Due to their instability, the Canucks are still unable to gain a foothold in the playoff zone and currently occupy the ninth place in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Juulsen will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Demko and Hughes are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Vancouver concedes three goals per match.
- Killer whales average 25 shots per match.
Montreal Canadiens
CanadaCurrent form
Montreal has been in great shape for a long time and even managed to earn a five-game winning streak. However, the long rise was replaced by a natural decline as soon as the team went to the away series. In the first guest match, the Canadiens faced a clear favorite in Edmonton. It is worth noting that the guests showed their best side and due to this they were able to impose a worthy struggle on such a powerful competitor, but in the end they still had to suffer an insulting defeat in overtime (2:3). There wasn't enough active action in the attack.
The same problem arose in the next match against Calgary. This time, the guests could not even score at all, losing with a minimal advantage of the opponent by one goal (0:1). Of the 26 shots, none reached the target. Montreal's slump started at the wrong time, as the team was just approaching the playoff zone. At the moment, the club is on the 10th line in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the eighth position is only four points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dakh, Gule and Price will definitely not play against Vancouver. Laine and Pazzetta are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Montreal concedes 3.3 goals per match.
- The Canadiens completed 21% of their attempts.

In four face-to-face matches out of five, the teams scored a goal in each period.
1.45Tip and bets
As you can see, Montreal has started to lose points from match to match, as it shows its worst side on the road. In the upcoming match, the Canadiens will play on the road again, which means they have little chance of success. Vancouver, in turn, with the support of its native stands, loses quite rarely, mostly only to clear favorites. We believe that the ice masters will be able to take advantage of their advantage again and win.
Our betting tip is a victory for Vancouver in 2.08
Bet on the total
But you should not expect a large number of abandoned pucks. Both teams have been having serious problems lately with both creating and implementing attacking chances, which has a bad effect on the overall performance of the matches.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.94
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Once again, we note that Vancouver is showing its best side on its site and is therefore quite capable of creating problems for Montreal at the very beginning of the meeting. We believe that the owners of the ice will earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Vancouver won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.66
