With the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference playoff race still very much undecided, the Montreal Canadiens visit the New Jersey Devils tonight.<\/p>\n

More importantly, it’s Saturday night \u2014 and that means it’s Cole Caufield’s time to shine, as making any NHL picks<\/a> without involving him would be crazy!<\/p>\n

My\u00a0Canadiens vs. Devils predictions\u00a0should come as no surprise, as no one has found the back of the net quite like Cole Caufield has in 2026… and he’ll hit a major milestone tonight.<\/p>\n

Canadiens vs Devils predictionCanadiens vs Devils best bet: Cole Caufield anytime goal (+130)<\/p>\n

Cole Caufield<\/a> is as inevitable as they come.<\/p>\n

He has a staggering 28 goals in his last 27 games, and his next tally will put him in some historic company as one of the very few Montreal Canadiens<\/a> to hit the half-century mark. He’s scored in four straight and fired seven shots on goal on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It’s only fitting that “Mr. Saturday Night” will have the opportunity to hit 50 tonight, and he’ll face a middling New Jersey Devils<\/a> defense. There’s a great chance we’ll witness Habs history at the Prudential Center tonight.<\/p>\n

Canadiens vs Devils same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Rookie phenom Ivan Demidov<\/a> is similarly scorching-hot, but in a more generous way than Caufield. The 20-year-old has logged an assist in four straight games and leads all rookies in helpers (43).<\/p>\n

His presence on the Canadiens’ top power-play unit has increased his prospects of acquiring apples immensely. There’s some serious value here at plus-odds.<\/p>\n

While Caufield, Demidov, and company continue to light up the scoresheet, sophomore blue liner Lane Hutson<\/a> has stepped up in his own zone.<\/p>\n

He’s blocked two or more shots in six consecutive games, making his defensive presence known in the absence of Alexandre Carrier (who ranks 10th in the NHL in blocked shots).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, New Jersey ranks fourth in the league in shots on goal, so expect Hutson to wear some rubber tonight.<\/p>\n
