PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes Montreal Canadiens +1.5 puck line.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

• Washington's Roy/Sandin blue-line absences.
• Montreal's intact Caufield–Suzuki–Slafkovsky line.
• Montreal's 38-shot, three-regulation-goal performance one night earlier.
• Early matchup data indicating a plausible Montreal shot-volume advantage against Washington's defensive play.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Montreal is missing Matheson and Demidov, two real lineup losses.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

• Montreal played overtime/shootout hockey on October 13 and must travel.
• Washington has a plausible special-teams edge from the available early-season data.

BOTTOM LINE

Washington's Roy/Sandin blue-line absences. The concern: Montreal is missing Matheson and Demidov, two real lineup losses.
