Lightning VS Canadiens Best Bets


Moneyline/Puckline Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning (ML/-1.5)

Poised for a bounce back performance on the road, bank on the Lightning to exit the Bell Centre with the victory as they cover the puckline against the Canadiens in a dominant display.

With no end in sight for the Habs recent struggles, having dropped three-straight matchups heading into this evening’s clash, they have yet another tough test ahead of them in the form of the Lightning.

While they haven’t been the juggernauts that the league has grown accustomed to over the past five years, they’re still easily one of the most dangerous units in the NHL.

Sporting proven goal-scorers, stellar defensive skaters, and a championship pedigree, the Lightning will prove to be too skilled and experienced for the young Canadiens squad to compete with.

Watch as the Lightning outclass a developing Habs team as they build up an early lead, cruising toward another valuable two points to their season standings, and scoring you a hefty payout with this puckline pick.

Over/Under Pick: Over 6.5 Goals

In a duel between two teams equipped with a multitude of specatcular goal-scoring talent, expect there to be Over 6.5 goals scored in tonight’s Lightning VS Canadiens showdown.

With the Lightning set to lead the charge through their scary offensive onslaught that has them currently slotted with the sixth-highest goal scoring average in the NHL, look for the Habs to do their best to match their foes offensive output.

As we continue to see the emergence of top young players such as Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Justin Barron, the Canadiens are more than capable of leaving their mark on the scoreboard this evening.

Hammer the Over on the Lightning VS Canadiens as both teams lacklustre netminders have ample trouble competing with the high-powered offences in front of them. Watch as the box score quickly rises alongside your bankroll as you win this Over/Under bet on the Lightning VS Canadiens.

Lightning VS Canadiens Best Player Prop Bets


Brayden Point Anytime Goal Scorer (+120)

Having been one of the top offensive producers in the NHL for several seasons in a row, don’t expect to see Lightning forward, Brayden Point to slow down in tonight’s tilt as he finds the back of the net in tonight’s contest.

Coming off of a career-high 51 goal season in 2022-23, Point has continued to light the lamp repeatedly this season with six goals through his first 12 games played.

Facing a Canadiens team that has had trouble stopping the puck this season, expect to see Point best the opposing defence as he rips a shot past the goaltender in order to put his team on the board, and winnings in your account balance with this player prop bet.

Sean Monahan Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+130)

Off to a red hot start to his 2023-24 campaign, expect to see Canadiens forward, Sean Monahan continue to make his presence felt offensively this season as he racks up Over 2.5 shots on goals against the Lightning.

Currently leading his team in goals-scored this season, Monahan has been incredible with the puck on the end of his stick this season.

Having finished three of his last five games with Over 2.5 shots on goal, bank on Monahan to continue serving as a leader on the offensive end for the Habs, registering multiple shots on goal, and netting you an easy plus-money win to your bankroll this evening.
