The Canadiens have improved slightly to +259 underdogs since opening as a +261 bet, while the support of 84% of sports bettors has kept the Panthers perched as ...

While the Canadiens have struggled to score, the Panthers have equally struggled to contain opposing shooters during what has developed into a season-threatening swoon. The Panthers’ porous defence has been accompanied in a dip in offensive production by the team’s shooters. [Nick Suzuki](https://news.sportsinteraction.com/nhl/player/nick-suzuki-16955) has also struggled, scoring just once in his past 10 games, including six straight goalless efforts on the road. Cole Caufield has cooled off in the month of December. However, the continued lack of production from the team’s big guns has emerged as a massive concern. The Canadiens travel to South Florida after dropping a 4-1 decision in Tampa Bay on Tuesday that marks their sixth defeat in eight road contests.

Tkachuk is the fastest Florida player ever to reach 40 points, beating out Hall of Famer Pavel Bure, who needed 33 games. Gudas has missed 10 games this season after being absent for only five and leading the Panthers with 355 hits last season. [— Griffin Carroll, Yardbarker](https://www.yardbarker.com/authors/griffin_carroll/899) [Looking for the latest odds on Habs-Panthers? The next-closest Panthers player had 179 hits. Barkov sat out the past three games due to a knee injury. He exited the Islanders game in the first period because of an upper-body injury. That left the Panthers -- who were the NHL's best regular-season team last season -- at 15-16-4 on the season.

Call of the Wilde: Florida Panthers humble the Montreal Canadiens ... (Globalnews.ca)

The Montreal Canadiens have work to do to improve their club, but they're in good shape to do it. Brian Wilde has more on the Habs and their contest against ...

Smith would be a steal at seven, and would be another centre in the mix for the Canadiens looking to consolidate their top-six. Dalibor Dvorsky is doing well in the Swedish Hockey League for a 17 year old, and he’s been strong for Slovakia at the WJC. He’s another hope for the Canadiens top-six that needs to get filled out with two or three more players. His shot share is tops on the Swedish team among forwards, and some might argue that he is the second choice in the draft. As it stands now, without a lottery win or two, the Canadiens are set to draft seventh and ninth. It’s difficult to know what Monahan will fetch at the trading deadline, if the Canadiens decide to trade him, but one could also argue that he sure is valuable to the Canadiens as well. Don’t let a single person engage you in a conversation that anyone else is in the mix for top pick in this draft. It sounds grim, how bad the scoring has been, but the hard truth is that it has been worse many other seasons. Xhekaj also has the ability to defend his teammates with his fists, adding to the value that he has. The Canadiens have not scored three goals in a game since Dec. Arber Xhekaj is the leading goal scorer among defencemen for the Canadiens this season. The Montreal Canadiens have played games on back-to-back nights in the state of Florida.

Montreal defenseman Kaiden Guhle left the ice late in the third period with an apparent leg injury after getting tangled with Barkov behind the net.
