It's time to continue our NHL odds series with a Canadiens-Bruins prediction and pick for Thursday's game.

They are second in the league in goals for and first in goals against. That is coming off two rough performances, but his first game of March was a 26 for 27 night in the net that was a Boston win. In order for Boston to win and cover in this game, they just need to keep the status quo. In both of those games, Swayman was in the net. The big reason for the number of goals is the number of shots they let up. Recent trends show that Boston is trying to save Ullmark for the playoffs, rotating him with Swayman every other game. They have yet to get over 30 shots in a game in March but did hit 30 shots against Florida. This is a recent improvement for them, though, as their overall goal differential is the second-worst in the Eastern Conference on the season. He has 62 saves on 62 chances in those games and has been completely dominant. All three players are over 20 goals on the season and all have over 135 shots, but averaging right around two shots a game is not enough if you are the team leader. Boston is trying to break a record held by the Canadiens, for the most points in the standings by a team in the regular season. With a Pittsburgh win and a Montreal loss, they will be eliminated from playoff consideration.

Tonight, Swayman will be the one to face the Habs. In net, Jake Allen will be back in after Samuel Montembeault had started the last 4 games. The Habs will be getting some reinforcement though as Jake Evans will play his first game since a knee injury took him out on January 14.

BOSTON - With just three weeks remaining in the regular season, the Montreal Canadiens are making their first - and only - visit to TD Garden on Thursday ...

"We need to get Jakub up and running," Montgomery said of the blue liner, who picked up an assist in a strong outing on Sunday in Buffalo. - Montgomery, who captained the University of Maine to the 1993 National Championship, said he might be cutting his pregame nap short on Thursday to catch some of the opening round action of the NCAA tournament. "It's a little bit of a different position to be in being so far ahead…where you know you're gonna be in the playoffs," he said. Depending on where teams are in playoff positions and all that - for Montreal, they're younger and building and they're gonna be a really, really good team in the future. I feel more of a rivalry with Toronto and Tampa now than Montreal just because all three are contending teams and we've had some really good playoff battles over the last few years." So, I know there's some more steps that have to happen, but he does look good." I think it was in January and it was our first meeting against them all year," Patrice Bergeron said of the Bruins and Canadiens first matchup of the season on Jan. "It's definitely something that is strange and is probably a first…I mean, I could be mistaken for myself and my career, but I think it is a first that it's been this late. But it is strange, and I guess we're all really looking forward to it." Instead, the Bruins have done battle on a regular basis with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning (two playoff series against each since 2018). As such, some of the animosity and familiarity between the rivals has begun to dissipate. It is a far cry from the days of Jim Montgomery's youth when the Bruins and Habs were doing battle on a regular basis as fierce rivals in the old Adams Division.
