Reasoning
01
GPT-5.6 Luna
Montreal Canadiens win
4–3
54%
Montreal's home setting gives them a modest edge in a matchup that has produced several close, high-scoring meetings. San Jose's recent head-to-head success keeps the result uncertain, with a one-goal Canadiens win the best estimate.
02
Claude Sonnet 5
Montreal Canadiens win
4–3
54%
Recent H2H meetings were high-scoring and close; home ice gives Montreal a slight edge in a likely tight, goal-rich contest.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Montreal Canadiens win
4–3
56%
Montreal holds home-ice advantage at Bell Centre. Both teams often play high-tempo, high-scoring contests against each other, favoring a slight Canadiens edge in a tight affair.
04
Grok 4.6
Montreal Canadiens win
4–3
56%
Thin 2026 form; H2H is split and often close. Home ice and NHL base rates favor Montreal in a high-event one-goal game, not a blowout.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Montreal Canadiens win
3–2
52%
H2H recent meetings have been close, with Montreal winning two of the last four. Home ice and a slight edge in recent scoring support a narrow Canadiens win.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Montreal Canadiens win
4–3
52%
Recent H2H favors San Jose but home ice and Montreal's prior success at this venue in 2025 support a narrow Canadiens edge in what trends as an open, high-scoring matchup.
07
Mistral Medium 3.5
San Jose Sharks win
4–5
62%
Sharks won 3 of last 5 H2H, including recent 4-2 away; Canadiens' defense inconsistent this season.
08
Kimi K3
Montreal Canadiens win
4–3
56%
H2H meetings are consistently high-scoring and tight; San Jose took both 2026 games, but home ice and Montreal's stronger roster trajectory give the Canadiens a slight edge in another open game.
09
GLM 5.3
Montreal Canadiens win
4–3
55%
Recent H2H games were high-scoring and tight, with San Jose winning two of three; Montreal's home edge and slight form advantage tip a close, open game.

San Jose Sharks win
3–4
58%
Sharks won last two H2H meetings, including a 7-5 road game, suggesting they can outscore Montreal in this matchup despite the venue.
