Minnesota at Montreal

January 20, 2026

7:00 PM Eastern

The Wild have defeated the Canadiens in nine consecutive games and 18 of the past 19 times. Montreal has a ripe opportunity to end that losing streak, hosting the Wild today. The Canadiens have a sizable rest advantage. They last played on Saturday. The Wild are playing their third road game in four days and second in two days after defeating Toronto, 6-3, on Monday. Filip Gustavsson was in goal for Minnesota against Toronto, so struggling backup Jesper Wallstedt is probable to be in net for the Wild today. Wallstedt has allowed three or more goals in six of his past seven starts, posting a .871 SV% and 3.97 GAA, with 4.07 goals saved below expected during this span. On top of this, Minnesota has multiple injuries. Forwards Joel Eriksson Ek, Matt Boldy, and defenseman Jonas Brodin are all on injured reserve. The Canadiens are the fourth-highest scoring team in the NHL, while the Wild rank 15th. Montreal has scored six goals in three of its last six games. Take the Canadiens.
