Best Bet - Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 (+108)
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Montreal,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 108.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Loss
The Penguins have been explosive in the opening week of the season as they whipped both Arizona and Tampa Bay by identical 6-2 scores. Sure, both of those games came at home but this is another season where Montreal is extremely leaky in their own end of the ice. The Canadiens are playing four rookie defensemen in their top six, making it difficult as it's the epitome of trial by fire. The Canadiens scored four goals in a win over Toronto in the opener and, to date, Matt Murray's lone start for the Maple Leafs, but have seen their offense dry up since. Montreal was blanked on the road by Detroit 3-0 and then lost 3-1 at Washington. This marks their third game in four nights and against a Penguins team that can pile up goals, you have to think that Pittsburgh rolls to a road win here.
