New York has won seven of eight after beating Detroit 4-3 on Friday when Chris Kreider scored a go-ahead power-play goal 10:14 into the third period and Jonathan Quick had 30 saves for the Rangers, who likely will go with Igor Shesterkin, who is 32-16-2 with a 2.70 goals-against average. Cayden Primeau is 8-8-2 for Montreal with a 2.85 GAA. The Canadiens have lost two in a row and three of four after falling to Toronto 4-2 on Saturday and they are 6-20 their past 26 Sunday games. The favorite has won 13 of the past 18 meetings and Montreal's only incentive is to not finish last in the Atlantic Division. Take the Rangers as a Max Play.

Premium Picks
New York at Montreal
New York has hit the skids losing six of its past eight games and tonight's goalie, Igor Shesterkin, has allowed 3.57 goals his past seven starts and he comes off a 4-2 loss to Boston on Saturday. Montreal will try to snap a four-game losing streak and the Canadiens are getting good value against the Rangers, who have lost four of their past five road games. Sam Montembeault is likely in net for Montreal and he was the winner in a 2-1 victory over New York on Jan. 15. The Rangers have yet to find the right chemistry after making some personnel moves and they are 5-for-27 on the power play their past eight games. Take the Canadiens as my Game of the Month.
