Anaheim Ducks vs Montreal Canadiens Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks got back to winning ways on Tuesday with a comfortable 5-1 victory over the New York Islanders, confirming that they remain one of the NHL’s hottest teams in recent weeks. They’ve won seven of their last 10 games overall (W7, L3), with two of those losses coming against top-tier competition in the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers.
Playing at home should also boost the Ducks’ chances of starting a new winning streak, as they had won five in a row before losing to the Avalanche on March 4. Anaheim’s W21, L9, OT1 home record this season is the second-best in the Western Conference, behind the Avs. They’ve won four of their last five encounters at Honda Center.

The Canadiens have been inconsistent, with a W5, L3, OT2 record over their last 10 outings, but they could prove to be a tough matchup for Anaheim. The Habs rank third in the league in goals scored per game (3.52), which could be an issue since the Ducks are among the NHL’s weakest defensive sides, allowing 3.48 goals per contest, the third-worst mark in the league.
Montreal are also the second-best road team in the Eastern Conference with a W16, L7, OT7 record. However, they’ve dropped three of their last five away outings, and the constant travelling might catch up to them. Expect the Ducks to come away with the win in a clash that figures to be an open contest.
Anaheim Ducks vs Montreal Canadiens Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Cutter Gauthier over 0.5 goals
If the Ducks are going to get the win against the Canadiens, their top offensive players will need to be at their best. That starts with Cutter Gauthier, who has been on fire lately with five goals over his last three games and eight over his last seven.
The 22-year-old is enjoying a career-best campaign with 55 points (31 goals, 24 assists) in 60 appearances. Given his keen eye for goal in recent weeks and the Canadiens’ struggles on the defensive end, as they rank 24th in goals allowed this season, Gauthier could very well see his prolific run continue this Friday.
Anaheim Ducks vs Montreal Canadiens Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 5.5 total goals + Nick Suzuki over 0.5 points + Beckett Sennecke over 0.5 points
Our three-leg parlay suggests that this should be a clash with plenty of action at both ends of the ice, and the numbers back that up. With both sides ranking above average offensively and subpar defensively, the conditions favour the over 5.5 goal line.
The Ducks are 13th in goals scored (3.25) and 30th in goals conceded (3.48) per game, while the Canadiens rank third (3.52) and 24th (3.27), respectively.
– Nick Suzuki’s patience and vision is always a treat to watch
– Classy move by Kirby Dach to check up on Tom Wilson after scoring a goal
— /r/Habs (@HabsOnReddit) March 1, 2026
We’re pairing that line with two prolific players getting on the scoresheet. Nick Suzuki should play a big role for the Habs since he leads the team in scoring with 69 points (19 goals, 50 assists) in only 60 contests and has recorded five points (G1, A4) over his last five outings.
For the Ducks, Beckett Sennecke ranks second on the squad in total points with 51 (20 goals, 31 assists) in 61 appearances, having registered seven points (G2, A5) over his last five.
Anaheim Ducks vs Montreal Canadiens Team News
Anaheim Ducks Team News
The Ducks could welcome two reinforcements on offence, as Mikael Granlund (upper body) and Troy Terry (upper body) have a chance to return on Friday. The lone confirmed absence is goaltender Petr Mrazek, who will miss the rest of the season due to hip surgery he underwent in February.
Montreal Canadiens Team News
The Canadiens are inching closer to full strength and have only two potential absences for this clash. The one that’s confirmed is Patrik Laine, who continues to deal with an abdominal injury, while Joe Veleno is dealing with an illness and is day-to-day. Veleno has been a healthy scratch in five of the Canadiens’ last eight games, so it’s uncertain if he is still under the weather or not.
