Canadiens vs. Canucks: Odds & Prediction

Montreal is a -105 underdog while Vancouver is a -115 favorite, with the over/under set at 6.5 goals.

The Canadiens are coming off a disappointing loss to the Oilers on Thursday and should come out strong here. Vancouver's offense has struggled to produce, while Dobes has been stellar to begin the season.

Goals will be hard to come by as Dobes and Demko have been solid, but Montreal's offense will be the difference here.

Prediction: Canadiens 3, Canucks 2.
