Atlanta at Montreal

The Canadiens haven't won back-to-back games in nearly a month, and I think they have to wait a bit longer. They are really struggling on offense. While they have averaged 2.5 goals per game on the season, over their last five that has dropped to 1.6 per game. The Thrashers get over 3 goals per game on the road. The question is whether Atlanta can play defense and I expect they will have success on that side today. The Canadiens are coming off an OT win and they have historically struggled in their next game in this scenario. I'm backing the road team in this one.
