Head-to-head statistics Montreal - Chicago
Montreal Canadiens Team Overview
Montreal approach this match with mixed results in their recent outings. In their last five games, they have secured two wins and suffered three losses, including a recent 1-6 defeat to Tampa. Their current form highlights the team's inconsistency, as they oscillate between victories and significant losses. Over the past ten games, the team has managed four wins and six losses, translating to a 40% win rate, which doesn't inspire confidence. The team's average scoring rate stands at 3.21 goals per game, while they concede an average of 3.55 goals.

Match Results: Montreal Canadiens
Chicago Blackhawks Team Overview
Chicago have hit a rough patch with three consecutive losses, dropping Jeff Blashill's squad to 11th in the Western Conference. In their upcoming game, the team will aim to get back on track, but it's going to be a tough challenge. The Hawks haven't beaten Montreal in their last two meetings, and their current form doesn't instill confidence that this streak will end. They are conceding more than three goals per game this season, which doesn't help their cause. Over their last six games, the visitors have managed just one win, and they haven't tasted victory on the road since December 5th.
