(NHL) NY Rangers vs. Montreal,
Money Line: -105.00 Montreal (Home)
Result: Win
Now in Montreal I expect a big performance from the Habs. The Habs have their backs against the wall here as a loss sends them on vacation. Despite losing in OT in Game 4, Montreal has to still be liking its chances because of the stellar play of young goalie Dustin Tokarski. Tokarski was thrown into the roll as starting netminder when All-Star Carey Price got steamrolled in Game 1. Tokarski has a 2.63 GAA and .917 save percentage through three games and I think has a legitimate shot at gutting out a victory tonight. New York has hardly been a World beater and the home crowd is going to be as supportive as always at the Bell Center. Considering all of the above factors and what's at stake in this elimination game I like Montreal at home to get the victory.
