On Friday, January 7th, the Toronto Maple Leafs travel to the Bell Centre to challenge the Montreal Canadiens! This great classic of the NHL will oppose two teams with diametrically opposed trajectories since the beginning of the season... Discover our prognosis as well as the best available odds on this long-awaited meeting!
Last year, the Montreal Canadiens had an exceptional season. The qualification against the Maple Leafs in the first round of the playoffs will obviously remain one of the highlights of this 2020/2021 season. The team led by Dominique Ducharme relied in particular on a well-oiled collective , which had also allowed him to win the Clarence S. Campbell Trophy.
This year, Canadians are living a very different season and are currently last in the Atlantic Division (7 wins, 21 losses, 3 overtime losses). If the qualification for the playoffs seems already compromised, a burst of pride is still expected against the rivals of Toronto.
The task promises to be difficult as the Maple Leafs are in very good shape. Second in the Atlantic Division , Sheldon Keefe's men are well on their way to qualifying for the playoffs (20 wins, 8 losses, 2 overtime losses). It remains to be seen if the spectre of last year will not resurface at the worst possible moment: sparkling during the 2020/2021 NHL regular season, the Maple Leafs had been eliminated by the Canadiens from the start of the play-offs.
This cruel disavowal had suddenly swept away all hopes of winning a Stanley Cup that is running away from them since the 1966/1967 season . Suffice to say that the Maple Leafs keep this conceded defeat against the rival across the throat. The opening game of this new NHL season was also won by the Toronto-based franchise.
For all these reasons, we advise you to bet on a Toronto Maple Leafs win . Revanchists compared to the elimination suffered last year, the Maple Leafs are also playing at a much better level than the Canadians this season.
