Montreal Canadiens enter their matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets as trader favorites, reflecting superior recent form with three wins in their last five games compared to Columbus's two victories over the same span. Key factors include Montreal's solid goaltending from Sam Montembeault, who boasts a .915 save percentage lately, and the Blue Jackets' defensive struggles, allowing 3.8 goals per game amid injuries to key blueliner Ivan Provorov (day-to-day, upper body). Columbus relies on young scorer Kirill Marchenko's hot streak (five goals in eight games), but faces a rest disadvantage after a back-to-back. Head-to-head, Montreal has won four of the last six, bolstering implied probabilities amid both teams' push for playoff positioning in the weak Atlantic and Metropolitan divisions.
