The Canadiens ended November with a 5-1 defeat to Florida, which was followed by a 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit.

They stopped the rot briefly with a 4-2 win against Seattle, only to then suffer a 4-0 shutout defeat to the Los Angeles Kings.

Montreal responded with a shootout win in Buffalo, but they failed to back that up as they then lost 2-1 to Nashville and dropped a shootout to Pittsburgh.

The Canadiens did avoid a third straight loss though, beating the New York Islanders 5-3 on Saturday.

Winnipeg come into this game having won six of their last seven games to improve their record to 18-9-2.

The Jets rebounded from a three-game losing skid that ended November with a four-game win streak to start December.

They started that run with a 3-1 home win against Chicago, which was followed by a 2-1 victory over Carolina.

Winnipeg then went out on the road to beat Colorado 4-2 and Anaheim 4-2, before seeing their streak end with a 2-1 loss in San Jose.

The Jets bounced back quickly though, winning 5-2 in Los Angeles before returning home to beat Colorado 6-2.

Verdict

Winnipeg have had their issues beating Montreal in recent years, but they are the better team in better form so we are going with the Jets.
