In their last game against the Chicago Blackhawks on December 23rd, they scored an impressive 5 goals. This offensive prowess was not an isolated incident; during their December 19th match-up with the Winnipeg Jets, they managed to net another 3 goals in a tightly contested overtime victory.

One of the most notable aspects of MTL's recent success has been their powerplay strength. Despite not scoring on powerplays in their latest victory over Chicago, they demonstrated efficiency in previous games by capitalizing twice during man-advantages against Winnipeg. This could spell trouble for DAL if they find themselves in penalty trouble.

Defensively speaking, MTL has also stepped up its game. Goaltending has been solid with a save percentage rounding up to an impeccable 100 percent against both Chicago and Winnipeg – a statistic that can't be overlooked when predicting outcomes of future matches.

On the other side of the ice stands DAL who will undoubtedly bring their own set of challenges for MTL. Their performance this season has shown them as worthy adversaries with strong team dynamics and individual skill sets that could threaten MTL’s winning streak.

However, it's important to note that while DAL may come into this game with confidence and strategy, MTL holds home-ice advantage at Bell Centre – a factor that often plays into team morale and fan support which can be pivotal in close encounters such as these.

In conclusion, if recent trends are anything to go by – particularly considering MTL’s offensive surge and stalwart goaltending – fans should feel cautiously optimistic about their chances against DAL. It promises to be an engaging battle where every shift counts and every play could turn tides.

The action unfolds at Bell Centre on February 10th at 1:00 PM EST (6:00 PM GMT). Fans won’t want to miss this clash which will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN+ for internet users or BSSWX channel number 676-1 for those following from away locales.
