Washington Capitals Form
Washington head to Canada holding a 2-0 lead in this series thanks to back-to-back home wins.
The Capitals were made to work for a series-opening victory, as they finally downed Montreal 3-2 in overtime.
That was the second straight meeting that needed extra time, but it was not required in the second game of this series as the hosts took it, 3-1.
Washington secured their place in the postseason by compiling a 51-22-9 record to finish atop the Metropolitan Division standings.
It is the second straight year that the Capitals have made the playoffs, and they will be eager to avoid a repeat of last year’s first-round elimination.
Montreal Canadiens Form
Montreal head back north of the border still seeking a first victory in this playoff series.
The Canadiens pushed Washington all the way in Game 1, but ultimately fell to a 3-2 overtime defeat.
That became back-to-back losses for them in the second meeting, as they were beaten 3-1 by the Capitals to go two down in the series.
Montreal earned their playoff place by putting together a 40-31-11 record to finish fifth in the Atlantic Division standings.
In doing so, the Canadiens ended a postseason drought that began after their Stanley Cup Finals loss to Vegas in 2021.
Verdict
Washington have momentum on their side and a good recent record against Montreal.
Therefore we are backing them to win at the Bell Centre for the second time this season.
