Two of the original six will meet tonight when the Chicago Blackhawks host the Montréal Canadiens. Chicago is tied with San Jose for the fewest points in the league (21) and even with the next hockey great on their side, the young phenom Connor Bedard, they still find a way to lose. The 14-13-5 Canadiens play better on the road than at home with an impressive record of 7-4-3. The Habs have also won the last three meetings with the Blackhawks, score more goals than Chicago, and give up less.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MONTREAL CANADIENS
