Canadiens Game 39: Slafkovsky Promotion, Hoffman & Barron Out

Montreal Canadiens are coming back from a six-game losing streak. They lost Kaiden Guhle to a knee injury. The team was forced to play five rookie defencemen at once during the trip. New York Rangers are on a winning streak and are currently second in the Metropolitan Division. NHL Betting Odds have the New Yorkers as a -220 favourite for this game. It seems Alexis Lafrenière will play on the 3rd line for the Rangers. He has been playing well recently.

Cole Caufield has scored three goals in his last two games. Nick Suzuki has only one goal and an assist in last nine games this season.
