This is a long road trip for the Arizona offense, its second straight road game on a six-game trek. Arizona was one of the worst offensive teams in the league last year at #24 in goals scored. Arizona is on a 7-3-1 run UNDER the total away from home, plus 31-15-6 UNDER on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. The Montreal Canadiens' defense gets a huge boost as star goalie Carey Price makes his much-anticipated season debut. Few goaltenders impact their team's play and confidence like Price, who led Montreal to a record-setting 9-0-0 start last year only to watch the Canadiens implode when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in November. Price has surrendered 10 goals in winning all seven career starts against Arizona. The team comes off a 4-0 win over Pittsburgh and this total is too high. Play Arizona/Montreal UNDER the total.
