* The Montreal Canadiens are playing really well and have won or gotten points in their last 12 games! They are playing against the Colorado Avalanche.
* The Avalanche might not have their two best players, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, because they got hurt. This makes the Canadiens a better choice to win.
* The Canadiens have a young goalie named Jacob Fowler who has been stopping a lot of pucks, which is helping his team win a lot of games.
