The Panthers are coming into the game here after losing a game to the Bruins, a game which allowed the Bruins to clinch a playoff berth. However, the Panthers are a team that should be able to bounce back from the loss and have the defense actually show up in the game instead of having the defense struggle again.

Aleksander Barkov is the leading Panthers scorer with 87 points on the year. Jonathan Huberdeau was able to put up a total of 59 assist on the season, but Mike Hoffman has managed to get a total of 35 goals on the season so far. The Canadiens for their part are sitting in a potential playoff berth as they are holding onto the last Wild Card spot in the. However, something else the Canadiens do have going for them is the fact the team has picked up some recent wins, including a 2-1 game that saw them beat the Hurricanes in the game to put them into a spot that could have some serious implications on the playoffs this year and helped the Canadiens stay ahead of the Blue Jackets.

Max Domi is the player who has been able to lead the Canadiens in the scoring on the year with a total of 67 points. Domi does lead the Canadiens in the assist category as well with 41 assist on the season. When it comes to the goal scoring Brendan Gallagher has been able to get a total of 33 goals on the season.

The Canadiens have been able to play strong lately and that is definitely going to continue in this game against the Panthers who are reeling lately. The Panthers defense, though, will play a little bit better in this game compared to the way the Panthers played against Boston. However, the defensive efforts will not be enough as the Canadiens pick up a win and a great defensive showing. Final Score Prediction, Montreal Canadiens win 3-2.
