Montréal Canadiens vs Vegas Golden Knights Live Stream Online
🔊Can the “Canadiens” finally get on a winning path? Montreal unexpectedly secured three victories in their last four matches. However, these local successes have not affected the Canadian club’s standings – they remain last in the East. Vegas, on the other hand, has slightly stalled recently but continues to hold its position among the group of leaders.
Head-to-Head
Last season, the opponents met twice, and the “Knights” left no chance for their rival (3:2 SO; 6:5). Each encounter was extremely intense, with the initiative constantly shifting. Notably, despite the impressive overall scoring, only one player managed to score twice. Montreal forward Jesse Ylönen scored a brace in the second game. However, the Finn now plays for Tampa.
Montreal
The “Canadiens” have perked up a bit. The club defeated Buffalo (7:5), Columbus (5:1), and Edmonton (3:0). Martin St. Louis’s team suddenly became much more effective on their half of the rink. However, there is no talk of systemic changes here. Montreal’s lineup still resembles a “patchwork quilt,” composed of many talented players not united by a single goal. The current successes are the result of individual quality breakthroughs. Long-term global successes cannot be achieved this way.
Vegas
The “Knights” have slightly stalled in November. In the last seven matches, the team suffered four defeats. However, this cannot be considered a full-blown crisis. The loss to Washington (2:5) was Alexander Ovechkin’s showcase, and the failure against Toronto (0:3) was possible due to the Canadian club’s strengthening defensive skills. Overall, Bruce Cassidy’s team remains one of the strongest in the West and should soon increase their points tally.
Projected Lineups
Montreal: Montembeault – Matheson, Guhle – Dach, Suzuki, Slafkovsky
Vegas: Samsonov – Pietrangelo, Hanifin – Dorofeyev, Eichel, Barbashev
Goalkeepers
Montreal’s goalie Samuel Montembeault achieved an outstanding feat. He managed to “shut out” Edmonton’s star-studded offense and prevent any of the league’s statistical leaders from scoring.
Vegas’s goalie Ilya Samsonov continues to alternate between successes and failures. After a setback against Washington, the Russian once again impressed fans with his play, saving 95% of shots on goal in the match against Ottawa.
Editorial Prediction
Recently, the “Knights” have noticeably scored less. In the last seven matches, the team managed to score more than three goals only once. Yes, Montreal is last in the East and does not impress with defensive traps or flawless defense, but even the “Canadiens” can manage to contain Vegas’s attacking efforts. We recommend betting on – Vegas’s individual total under 3.5 goals.
