Columbus is coming into this game with a 6-1-3 record in its last 10 games. The Blue Jackets come into this game second place in the Metropolitan Division. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/werenza01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-03-26_hr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Zach Werenski<\/a> has nine points, including eight assists, in his last 10 games played.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/dobesja01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-03-26_hr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Jakub Dobes<\/a> is the projected starter for the Canadiens, who are 6-3-1 in their previous 10 games. The Canadiens are in the middle of that massive jumble in the Atlantic Division and the East. Montreal\u2019s two-game winning streak comes at the right time, but it needs to keep getting points. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/caufico01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-03-26_hr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Cole Caufield<\/a> has 11 points, including six goals for Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams are playing well at this time.
