Canadiens Moneyline vs. Devils: -106 (New York Sportsbook Offers)
These are two teams going in the same direction, but the Canadiens have continued to get healthier and play more competitive hockey with the returns of multiple players in the top nine. Tyler Toffoli returned recently, along with Brendan Gallagher, and now Christian Dvorak should also be back in the fold for the homestanding Habs. The Devils have been an absolute horror show since the new year started with just one win in their last 10 games. Now to add to the fact they are without their best player Jack Hughes due to COVID, it looks very grim for a team coming off a 5-1 drubbing on a back-to-back on the road.
Goalie skill is very hard to measure since it is so dependent on the team in front, but for as poor as the Canadiens goaltending has been, the Devils may be even worse, with a collective save percentage around 86% with the current trio of options.

Artturi Lehkonen to Score First Goal vs. Devils: +2200 (New York Sportsbook Offers)
There is value to be had everywhere with the Canadiens tonight, so why not start with a top line forward giving a massive return in a great spot? As mentioned before, the Devils have been atrocious defensively, allowing the league’s most goals at five-on-five this year. Artturi Lehkonen and linemates Nick Suzuki and Tyler Toffoli are a high-volume line with an expected goal for at nearly 58% in their time together in 2022.
At +330 just to score a goal, there is obviously a lot more safety but also a sacrifice in return. The NHL betting markets are surprisingly backing a horrendous Devils in the worst of situations, which makes for great betting opportunities on the Montreal side.
