Canadiens vs Bruins prediction
Canadiens vs Bruins best bet: Alexandre Carrier Over 1.5 blocked shots (-180)
Since January 7, no one has blocked more shots than Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexandre Carrier. He ranks one ahead of his teammate Noah Dobson despite playing significantly fewer minutes.
The Quebec City native has 27 blocked shots over his last nine games, and has scored four goals during that time for good measure.
He trails only Mike Matheson among Habs defensemen in shorthanded ice time, and will be largely entrusted to fend off the Boston Bruins’ fourth-ranked power play. He’s in line to hit the Over for blocked shots once again.

Canadiens vs Bruins same-game parlay
Nick Suzuki was recently named to Canada’s Olympic roster, and deservedly so, as the 26-year-old leads the team in points (57) and ranks 11th in the NHL in assists (41). He has helpers in four consecutive games and 10 in his last 10 games.
With Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman underperforming thus far, it’s worth noting Montreal has put up at least four goals on Boston in three of their last five meetings — including potting six behind Swayman just over a month ago.
