San Jose Sharks vs Montreal Canadiens Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Montreal Canadiens
The Canadiens pushed their winning streak to three games with a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. That run also includes wins over the Maple Leafs and Kings, with Montreal scoring at least three goals in each of them.
However, the Canadiens haven’t been the best home side, as their W18, L11, OT2 record ranks sixth-worst in the Eastern Conference. That said, they’ll have the golden chance to earn a fourth consecutive win in the upcoming clash.

Even though the Sharks are coming off a 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins, they’d been riding a three-game losing streak before that win (L1, OT2). Every encounter is crucial for a San Jose side that’s battling to earn a playoff berth in the ultra-competitive Western Conference.
The Canadiens should rely on their recent form and home-ice advantage to beat a Sharks team that could also be depleted defensively due to the likely absence of starting goaltender Yaroslav Askarov.
San Jose Sharks vs Montreal Canadiens Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Nick Suzuki over 0.5 power-play points
Nick Suzuki has been in excellent form recently and has racked up seven points in the Canadiens’ last five games, including a power-play assist in the 3-2 win over the Senators.
He’s recorded two goals and five assists during that span, but one area in which he’s stood out all season long has been his power-play contributions.
Habs captain Nick Suzuki this season:
• 21 goals
• 53 assists (8th among all players)
• 74 points in 62 games (10th among all players)
• 20:45 mins per game
• On pace for 98 points pic.twitter.com/DGhyszXqUT— /r/Habs (@HabsOnReddit) March 8, 2026
The star playmaker has been one of the most productive players with the man advantage in the league. He’s notched a career-high 35 points (10 goals, 25 assists) for a Canadiens power play that ranks fourth in the league with 25.1 percent of effectiveness.
Suzuki’s power-play contributions are fourth in the league, trailing only Connor McDavid (45), Leon Draisaitl (41), and Wyatt Johnston (36). Look for him to leave his mark on the power again.
San Jose Sharks vs Montreal Canadiens Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 6.5 goals + Macklin Celebrini over 0.5 points + Juraj Slafkovsky over 0.5 points
This matchup has all the ingredients of a high-scoring affair. The Canadiens have one of the best offences in the NHL with 3.53 goals per game, while the Sharks sit 18th (3.08).
More notably, both teams tend to struggle defensively. Montreal rank 24th in goals allowed per game (3.23), while San Jose are 29th (3.48). Additionally, their previous meeting produced 12 goals, with the Sharks coming out on top.
With another offensive showcase on the cards, look for Macklin Celebrini to find a way to either score or assist. The San Jose star centre has eight points (four goals, four assists) over his last four outings.
Macklin Celebrini’s goal on Tuesday night put him in another conversation with NHL greats.

Meanwhile, the Canadiens could rely on Juraj Slafkovsky to make an impact offensively. The star winger has three goals in his last five appearances and ranks second on the team with 24 goals this season, trailing only Cole Caufield, who has 37 but is currently riding a bit of a cold streak while dealing with an illness.

San Jose Sharks Team News
The Sharks have a huge question mark between the pipes since Askarov is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury. If he is ruled out, Alex Nedeljkovic, who started in the 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday, should remain in the starting role.
Ty Dellandrea (lower body) will miss Saturday’s game, but he’s expected to be back in the coming days. Goaltender Carey Price (knee) is out for the rest of the season, and the same goes for Logan Couture (groin). Both players are uncertain to return for the 2026-27 season.
Montreal Canadiens Team News
The Canadiens could be without their top scorer since Caufield is dealing with an illness. The star winger, who has a team-high 37 goals and 64 points, the second-best mark on the squad, is listed as day-to-day. A decision on Caufield’s status will be made closer to Saturday’s puck drop.
Patrik Laine (abdomen) remains on the IR and is not expected back on the ice until next week at the earliest.
