Columbus Blue Jackets at Montreal Canadiens Preview, Prediction and Odds – 11/12/19

The Columbus Blue Jackets are on the road to Montreal for an Eastern Conference clash with the Canadiens. Columbus come off a 4-2 road loss to Colorado in their last meeting on Saturday night, meanwhile, Montreal dumped the Los Angeles Kings 2-3 at home on the same night. The hockey teams split the previous eight meetings with Columbus scoring 6-2 at home in the recent matchup on March 28, 2019.

In their recent meeting with Avalanche, Columbus’ right-wing Emil Bemstrom contributed goals on power play but that wasn’t just good enough with goalie Joonas Korpisalo allowing four goals on 36 shots. On the other side of the coin, the Canadiens performed really well in their matchup against the Kings, scoring all their three goals in the first period of the game. Nate Thompson was the one to score first followed by Shea Weber with two goals coming on power play.

Will Montreal be able to keep the same energy in tonight’s game with the Blue Jackets?
