Penguins vs. Canadiens Prediction: Montreal Favored, but Pass at -155
Analysis updated October 31, 2026 at 2:21 AM CDT
Montreal has home ice and strong sportsbook-specific backing, but the available information doesn't justify laying -155 before the lineups and starting goalies are confirmed.
The price requires more certainty
Montreal is the likelier winner at Bell Centre, but its -155 moneyline is difficult to justify without confirmed lineups or starting goalies. Pittsburgh is +130, Montreal is -1.5 on the puck line, and the total is 6.5 with the over at -118 and the under at -102.
The Montreal Canadiens' official NHL.com game-day report said the club planned to release its lineup closer to puck drop. The same report noted that Pittsburgh won the teams' October 3 meeting 6-5 in overtime, a close result that doesn't support paying a premium for Montreal here.
Public support doesn't prove value
Wise Guy Team, a betting-splits tracker, reported that Montreal received 87% of DraftKings moneyline tickets and 99% of its handle. It also listed 100% of Circa's moneyline handle on the Canadiens. Those figures cover specific sportsbooks, not the entire market, and heavy backing doesn't make -155 a good price.
Pittsburgh's +130 moneyline isn't supported either. Without current form, injury, lineup, or starting goalie information, there isn't a strong enough case for either side at the listed odds. Pass on the moneyline.
