Montreal’s record is not as impressive as Washington’s.

Capitals vs Canadiens Betting Trends: Moneyline

Now in these Capitals vs Canadiens Betting trends, we have the moneyline:

BET CANADIENS (+100).

It is never easy to win on the road in the National Hockey League playoffs, and this is especially true at a site like the Bell Centre in Montreal, where the enthusiasm will be tremendous. This may be a bit of a bold approach, but it is always difficult to win.

The Washington Capitals appeared to be in good shape at home, but I do not anticipate them winning this series. Playing in front of their home fans, Montreal is a young and talented team that plays with a considerable amount of enthusiasm. Over the course of the regular season, the Canadiens posted a record of 23-12-6 at home, and they are going to come out on top in Game 3.

The Washington Redskins, on the other hand, have been unsuccessful away from home in the postseason, losing their last four playoff games away from home. The last time they won a playoff game away from home was on May 3, 2023, when they defeated the Florida Panthers.

It seems like the appropriate decision to back Montreal to get on the board in this series, especially considering that they have the support of the home crowd and even money on the line.

By scoring a goal in the second period, Christian Dvorak provided Montreal with a momentary burst of energy; nevertheless, the team was unable to capitalize on either of its two opportunities to use the power play.

When the Capitals’ goaltender Logan Thompson stopped all 14 shots he faced in the third period, Montreal was unable to find a solution to the problem.
