Our Canadiens vs Islanders predictions are impressed by the Habs' improved defense of late.
The Canadiens are starting to finally show signs that they're ready to take a step forward, particularly on defense. Facing an offensively stunted — and injured — Islanders team, the Under is the way to go tonight.
Montreal has tightened the screws, conceding shots and quality looks far less often than earlier in the season., who continue to play without key players like Mathew Barzal and Anthony Duclair, predictably struggling to create offense along the way. Also working in the Canadiens’ favor is home ice. They’re a much stingier team at the Bell Centre, giving up nearly a full goal less per game compared to on the road.
One reason they’ve done such a good job at limiting shots is they’ve slowed things down, ranking 32nd in 5v5 pace in that span, and are going up against an Islanders squad that sits 30th.has cleared 3.5 shots only 28% of the time this season and 14% on the road. This is not a good matchup for him to see a big spike.
