This is a 10* play on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Montreal Canadiens have started their 2015/2016 campaign with three consecutive wins and are visiting the win-less Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday night. Should be an easy win for the Canadiens here right? Well, I beg to differ.
Montreal has been on the road since October 7 and are probably looking forward to its first home game of the season when it'll host the New York Rangers Thursday. They've lost five of the last seven meetings with the Pens and their otherwise so reliable netminder Carey Price has a 3.42 GAA and .888 save percentage over a 2-4-2 span against Pittsburgh.
The Penguins Marc-Andre Fleury meanwhile is 8-2-2 with a 2.34 GAA against Montreal since the start of the 2011-12 season. He and the rest of the Pittsburgh team should be mighty pumped up for their first game of the season in front of the home town crowd after back to back road losses at Dallas and Arizona.
The Canadiens have had plenty of opportunities on the power play so far but have converted on just one of 14 chances. They finished 23rd a season ago at 16.5% and that won't cut it here against a Penguins team that are usually rather effective when they get the chance to play with an extra skater on the ice.
Take PIT.
