The Canadiens have been one of the NHL’s best away teams and are pushing for an Atlantic Division title. Meanwhile, the Jets are floundering near the bottom of the West. Getting pick’em prices on the Habs moneyline feels like a gift.

The Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets go head-to-head at Canada Life Centre in their final game before the Olympic break.

The Habs are on a solid run, and I’ll break down why I’m picking the visitors to stay hot in my Canadiens vs. Jets predictions and NHL picks for Wednesday, February 4.

Canadiens vs Jets prediction

Canadiens vs Jets best bet: Canadiens moneyline (-110)

The Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens come into tonight’s meeting at dead-even -110 odds, a surprise given how these teams have trended in opposite directions this season.

The Habs are within striking distance of an Atlantic Division title, while the Jets sit fifth-last in the NHL standings.

Montreal has a 4-0-1 record over its last five games and has been excellent on the road this season, going 15-6-7. The Habs own a .661 points percentage as the visitor, the fourth-best mark in the league.

While Connor Hellebuyck would normally give the Jets an edge in net, the reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner has been a shell of himself this season. Hellebuyck is carrying a .901 SV% and has allowed 3+ goals in four straight starts.

The Canadiens are the much better team, and we’re getting a great price on the moneyline tonight.
