Washington Capitals at Montreal Canadiens predictions It’s been a solid month of April for Dylan Strome who continues to pile up the points.

Washington Capitals at Montreal Canadiens tip Despite the Capitals seizing on sweeping their two opening home dates in the playoffs, this postseason encounter has relatively been evenly played. This is due to both netminders making timely saves at critical junctures.  In this campaign on home ice for Montreal, they have featured in 13 out of 41 games where seven or more goals materialized while for the visitors, 63 percent of their away tilts saw Washington participate in contests that saw seven or fewer goals on the scoreboard.  We feel Friday’s skirmish has a decent chance to stay under the total with Habs starting goalie Sam Montembeault holding a .910 save percentage in front of the rabid home fans in 2024-25.
