Montreal Canadiens vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction
I’m going to side with Montreal here. I just think Montreal’s the better team in this game and I don’t trust the Canucks in their current form right now. The Canadiens have been able to provide a fair amount of value early on this season and I think that the Habs get the job done on the road here. Give me Montreal in this one.
