While New Jersey isn\u2019t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, their chances are slim. They have won three out of their last five games, but the inconsistency that has troubled them all year continues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Tonight\u2019s matchup will be a significant challenge against a team that excels at scoring. With a win, Montreal can reach 100 points for the season, a milestone they haven\u2019t achieved since the 2016-2017 season. Additionally, Cole Caufield is just one goal shy of his first 50-goal campaign, which adds extra motivation to secure a victory. The Canadiens\u2019 goaltending has been solid throughout this winning stretch, addressing a previous area of concern. Coupled with strong defensive play and effective scoring, Montreal may prove to be too much for the Devils to handle. Expect the red-hot Canadiens to add another win to their record.<\/p>\n<p>Canadiens vs Devils prediction: Montreal ML (-130) available at time of publishing.
