NHL Blowout
(NHL) Edmonton vs. Montreal,
Money Line: -140.00 Montreal (Home)
Result: Loss
ASA PLAY ON 8* Montreal Canadiens Money Line -140 over Edmonton Oilers at 7 PM ET - The Canadiens are off a home loss to the Maple Leafs last night. Even though this is a back to back, Montreal has been strong at goaltender as Jake Allen has played extremely well. He will likely be between the pipes because Carey Price was in goal last night. The Habs are 4-0 this season when off a loss. Montreal also has won 4 of the 5 starts made by Allen this season. The Senators are by far the worst team in the North Division this season. What does Ottawa have to do with this match-up? Well, the Oilers have been "hot" recently but a lot of it has to do with 4 of their last 5 games coming against Senators. Edmonton went 4-0 in those match-ups but has lost 7 of 11 games against teams not named Ottawa this season. Also, against the Canadiens, the Oilers have lost both games this season and the combined score of those two was 8-2. Montreal is set up well to dominate again here as they improve to 5-0 this season when off a loss. This is a very good Habs team that outshot the Maple Leafs by a solid margin yesterday but suffered a tight loss due to some rare 3rd period struggles. Bounce back time here. Take the CANADIENS
