Pittsburgh at Montreal
October 14, 2024
7:30 PM Eastern
Pittsburgh will likely have Tristan Jarry back in net after starting Joel Blomqvist for a couple games, including a 4-2 loss to Toronto on Saturday. Jarry is still waiting to bounce back from a disastrous outing in the season opener when he allowed six goals against the New York Rangers. Jarry appeared in 51 games in 2023-24 and had a 2.91 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. The Penguins finished last season winning four of five in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 days situation. Montreal has gone UNDER two of its first three games and Sam Montembeault has allowed only one goal on 73 shots this season. The Canadiens have gone UNDER eight of its past 12 home games and they have lost seven of their past 10 against the Metropolitan Division dating to last season. Pittsburgh is favored on the road as it still has the superior talent. Take the Penguins and the UNDER.

Montreal at Pittsburgh
January 27, 2024
7:07 PM Eastern
Pittsburgh has lost three straight and five of six after a 3-2 shootout defeat against Florida on Friday night and now the Penguins have to play a back-to-back. The Penguins have averaged only 2.33 goals their past six games. Tristan Jarry is likely in net for Pittsburgh and he has lost four of his past six starts and he owns a 12-14-4 record on the season. Jake Allen is confirmed for Montreal, which snapped a three-game skid with a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday despite being outshot 46-26. Pittsburgh has lost six of seven Saturday games and four of five overall at home. We're getting great line value with the road underdog in this matchup. Play the Canadiens as a Max Play.
