Sam Montembeault, a 26-year-old netminder, has made a majority of the starts in net recently for Montreal, putting up a 16-17-3 record and a 3.36 goals-against average.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>NHL player stats show that Montreal\u2019s struggles <strong>have come in large part due to a lack of a scoring touch. <\/strong>The Canadiens only average 2.76 goals per game and convert 16.3 percent of their power-play opportunities. Montreal struggles to generate opportunities, only getting 27.3 shots on net per game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The<strong> Canadiens haven\u2019t been hit too hard<\/strong> by the <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nhl\/injuries\/\">NHL injury report<\/a> recently.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New York Islanders<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>New York\u2019s offense isn\u2019t one that many other <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nhl\/teams\/\">NHL teams<\/a> worry about when they see the Islanders on the NHL schedule. The Islanders average just below three goals per game, <strong>but make up for it with a crushing defense.<\/strong> New York only allows 2.65 goals per game, and opponents get 31.2 shots per game on net.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Defenseman Alexander Romanov and center Mathew Barzal are on the <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nhl\/teams\/new-york-islanders\/\">New York Islanders<\/a> injury report. <strong>The Islanders haven\u2019t played the most exciting NHL games<\/strong> over the past few weeks. New York is 2-3 over its past five, including a disappointing loss to Washington, which won\u2019t be making the playoffs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Islanders have seen the under go 6-2-1 over their past nine games. Canadiens vs Islanders odds show that Brock Nelson leads New York with 34 goals, while Anders Lee has 27.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Montreal Canadiens vs. New York Islanders Betting Picks<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Canadiens have had a hard time scoring over the past few games. <strong>Montreal has been limited to one goal or less<\/strong> in three of the past four games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Expect New York\u2019s defense to be on points and to help this game stay under the total. Canadiens vs Islanders odds show <strong>this game will have a good chance of going under<\/strong> the total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Islanders will not want to miss this opportunity. After spending all season trying to climb the <a href=\"https:\/\/insidersbettingdigest.com\/nhl\/standings\/\">NHL standings<\/a>, <strong>New York was finally able to get into a position to steal a Wild Card spot.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With how the schedule fell,<strong> the Islanders are hoping to take advantage of a down Montreal team<\/strong> to get back into the postseason.
