Boston at Montreal

The Boston Bruins surprisingly struggled for much of the early part of the season, but look out opponents - the Bruins have caught fire! They have suffered just a single shootout loss in their last seven, and are playing their best hockey of the season. They lost at home in a shootout to the Canadiens earlier, so you can bet they will be seeking redemption here tonight. The Habs may not offer much resistance here as lately they have been more like have-nots. They have not won in their last four games and have been out-scored 16-6 in the process. The Bruins are 24-5 in their last 29 vs. the Northeast and are a glistening 10-2 on the road vs. a team with a losing home record. The Canadiens are just 1-7 in their last eight as a home dog. The Bruins have taken nine of the last 10 meetings including the last four in Montreal. I'll go with Boston here.
