The Anaheim Ducks embark on a four-game eastern road trip after playing six of seven on home ice over the last two weeks. First up is a tilt with the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Monday (7:30 p.m. ET, Prime Video). 
It will be interesting to see how the Ducks acquit themselves on the road after so much home cooking. They are 5-3-2 on their travels, winning three in a row. Meanwhile, the Canadiens have won two of the last three at home. 
Neither team will be mistaken for being a Stanley Cup odds front-runner, but both have improved significantly defensively recently, and our Ducks vs. Canadiens prediction expects a low-scoring, nip-and-tuck encounter.
Odds via our best NHL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale.
Best odds: -150 via Betway | Implied probability: 60%
Terms and conditions apply.
Montreal has the second-worst defensive record, allowing 3.59 goals per contest. However, Martin St. Louis’ squad is much better defensively at Bell Centre, where they have the 14th-ranked unit. Allowing 3.07 goals per game at home, Montreal gets more from having the last change than most teams. 
Seven of their last eight home tilts had six or fewer goals, averaging 4.9.
Anaheim is the opposite of Montreal, saving its best for hostile environments. The Ducks have the 18th-ranked defense overall but the third-best on the road, conceding only 2.40 goals per contest. 
Four of their last five road games had six or fewer goals, with Anaheim conceding two or fewer in each. And Lukas Dostal, who has the second-highest goals saved above expected (13.9), should get the nod between the pipes. 
These are important points for teams that are tied with 23 points. It’s a game both teams will feel they can win, which should lead to a tight-checking affair that defensive aficionados will thoroughly enjoy.
It’s a three-star play due to the expensive -150 price, and a winning $10 bet will profit $6.67. 
NHL picks made Monday; odds subject to change.
Best odds: +110 via Betway | Implied probability: 47.62%
The Ducks might be one of the most watertight defensive units on the road, but they allow a ton of shots. Anaheim concedes 36.2 shots per game away from the Honda Center, the NHL’s most. Their defense isn’t much better at preventing shots at home, conceding the third-most (31.3). 
Caufield has at least four shots in four of his last six games, including his last two, and should be able to capitalize. His last six encounters have been the most productive of his season in terms of shot production, so this matchup sets up perfectly for the 23-year-old. 
A winning $10 bet will profit $11.
