The Montreal Canadiens will face the Colorado Avalanche in an afternoon matchup on Saturday, November 29, marking the first meeting between these two teams this season.
My Canadiens vs. Avalanche predictions are among the most valuable NHL picks for today, as two of the league’s best offensive teams should produce quite the spectacle for this matinee affair.

Canadiens vs Avalanche prediction
Canadiens vs Avalanche Best bet: Cole Caufield 1+ assists (+165)
Don’t look now, but Montreal Canadiens’ leading goal scorer, Cole Caufield, has notched assists in five consecutive games, as he and captain Nick Suzuki have seemingly struck gold with their new linemate, Zach Bolduc.
The diminutive forward is now on pace for a career-best in assists and faces a Colorado Avalanche team, albeit very strong defensively, that lost in a shootout to the Minnesota Wild last night.
It’s rare to see a player of Caufield’s calibre with plus-odds for a prop such as this, and playing with another trigger-happy shooting threat in Bolduc certainly works in his favor.

Suzuki and Bolduc have scored a combined five goals in the last four games, so perhaps the new dynamic for the Habs’ top line has allowed the American to be a bit more generous.
Canadiens vs Avalanche same-game parlay
Bolduc has been a welcome addition to this young Canadiens squad, notching six goals and 12 points through 23 games thus far.
Once mired in a cold stretch playing bottom-six minutes with less-than-ideal linemates, he’s been electric since being moved alongside Suzuki and Caufield with six points in his last four games. He’s earning more ice time, more power-play minutes, and has some serious value also at plus-odds.

Montreal ranks fourth in the NHL in goals, while Colorado paces the league in that department. With both teams playing the second half of a back-to-back, I expect a flurry of goals to come from Ball Arena this afternoon.
Three of the last five meetings between these teams have gone Over, and both teams have improved their already impressive offenses so far this season.
