Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens Main Match Info

Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Boston Bruins
The Bruins bounced back from a 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on January 20 with a 4-3 home win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, January 22. The team are back at TD Garden after a brief two-game road trip (1-1-0), and they’ve been one of the strongest home sides in the Eastern Conference this season (W18, L8, OT1).
They’ve reinforced that reputation with a six-game winning streak at TD Garden, during which they’ve averaged an impressive 4.3 goals scored per fixture. That impressive stretch of form should cause concern for the Canadiens, as they’ve been slumping of late with four losses over their last seven outings (W3, L3, OT1).

Montreal are back on the road for the first time since January 17, but their recent away form has been mixed at best, with a W3, L2, OT1 record in six road contests in 2026. The Canadiens have also lost in nine of their last 10 trips to TD Garden, although they did secure a 6-2 victory there on December 23, 2025.
As dominant as that win was, with Montreal edging Boston in shots on goal 14 to 7, that was an outlier based on both teams’ season-long trends. In this battle of top-10 offences, the Bruins’ dominance at home suggests they should be able to find a way to come out on top once again.
Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens Player Prop
- Prop Bet: David Pastrnak over 0.5 goals
It would be easy to go with Morgan Geekie as an anytime scorer for the Bruins since he leads the team in goals this season (26), but David Pastrnak has been nearly unstoppable in recent outings.
The star winger leads Boston in goals (two), assists (six), and points (eight) over the last five contests, so he’s an easy candidate to find the back of the net against a struggling Canadiens defence.
Pastrnak is no stranger to making an impact against Montreal. He delivered two assists in their previous meeting this season and has notched an impressive 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in his last 10 games against the Canadiens.
Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 4.5 goals + David Pastrnak over 0.5 points + Morgan Geekie over 0.5 points
Don’t be surprised if this clash hits the over on the 4.5 total goals market. Both the Bruins (ninth – 3.29) and the Canadiens (third – 3.37) rank among the top 10 sides in goals scored per game. As if that wasn’t enough, eight of Boston’s last 10 home encounters, as well as Montreal’s previous six overall, have also hit this line.
The possibility of a high-scoring contest aligns well with two of the Bruins’ best players finding a way to crack the scoresheet.

That’s especially true for Pastrnak, who leads the team in points this season by a wide margin (63) while ranking first in assists (42) and second in goals (21).
Geekie has emerged as one of the most reliable forwards in the NHL in 2025-26. He should also be a player to keep close tabs on during this contest, especially since the Canadiens rank 25th in the NHL in goals allowed per game (3.27). Geekie leads the Bruins in goals with 26, which is also tied for the seventh-best mark league-wide.
Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens Team News
Boston Bruins Team News
The Bruins are expected to be close to full strength for this matchup, as Henri Jokiharju (personal) is back in the lineup, though he was a healthy scratch ahead of Thursday’s game against the Golden Knights. The lone absentee is Jordan Harris (ankle), who has been limited to two points (one goal, one assist) in five outings so far in 2025-26.
Montreal Canadiens Team News
The Canadiens will wait until the very last minute to see whether Alexandre Texier will be available to return as he’s dealing with a lower-body injury. Patrik Laine (abdomen) and Alex Newhook (ankle) remain injured on a long-term basis, with Laine expected back after the Olympic break and Newhook likely to return around mid-March in a best-case scenario.
