Probable lineups
Tactical analysis
Chicago is expected to control the early phases ([score withheld] mins) to test Montreal's rotated lineup. Goal timing is likely skewed toward the [score withheld] minute window when Montreal's fixture congestion (3 games in 10 days) typically triggers physical drop-offs. If Chicago scores first, Montreal's lack of urgency (neutral pressure) may lead to a low-resistance finish.
