The Montreal Canadiens will visit the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden tonight, December 13, marking the second meeting between these two after the Rangers took a 4-3 nailbiter at the Bell Centre in October.
My Canadiens vs. Rangers predictions and NHL picks suggest a different result this time around, given the Habs' strong track record away from home, coupled with the Rangers' well-documented struggles on home ice.
Canadiens vs Rangers prediction
Canadiens vs Rangers best bet: Canadiens moneyline (+115)
For a reason that baffles me, the Montreal Canadiens are not the favorite entering tonight's matchup. They boast an encouraging 9-3-2 record on the road, while the New York Rangers have probably dreaded coming back from a road trip with their 3-8-3 record on home ice.
New York enters tonight's matchup having dropped three straight, while Montreal secured a massive road win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.
The Habs have just one regulation loss on the road since October 23, and their road success has been a determining factor to the team's success thus far this season.
