AI Match Analysis
The price looks fair, and Montreal is still the most likely winner. The independent model has Montreal at 46.5% against a market figure of 46.2%, so there is no gap to exploit. Both teams have confirmed injury news. Montreal will be without defenseman Mike Matheson (lower body), who averages about 24 minutes a night. Ivan Demidov, Oliver Kapanen and goalie Sam Montembeault are also out. Buffalo is on the second night of a back-to-back and starts a three-game road trip. Captain Rasmus Dahlin left Monday's win over Florida with an upper-body injury and is day-to-day, though one preview lists him in the projected lineup. Backup goalie Alex Lyon is also out. Montreal's home ice and Buffalo's fatigue roughly offset the loss of Matheson. Both teams have poor early goaltending numbers, which raises the randomness of the result. Buffalo's power play is 5.9% and Montreal's penalty kill is 60%. With the injuries largely cancelling out and the market and model in agreement, there is no value either way.
