Boston at Montreal

Hunted is he who wears the crown, as the Bruins have found out after their Stanley Cup win from a year ago. After a sluggish start the B's have redeemed themselves however, posting victory in eight straight contests, but keep in mind that the last team to beat them was this same Montreal team 4-2 right here in this building. Montreal has taken the season series 2-0 thus far and seems to have a read on the Bruins, holding them to a total of 3 goals in the pair of games. Boston is getting better net play of late, allowing just 11 in their last seven games, so this one figures to be played low and tight. The Habs are playing much better at 8-4 over their last 12 games, with a pair of shutouts in two of their last three games, and have been at their best off a single day of rest at 6-1 over their last seven in this situation. The Bruins are posting a 9-3-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 13 vs. a losing opponent, while the Canadiens now 31-15-5 to the UNDER on a day's rest as well as 30-14-8 to the UNDER vs. the Northeast. The Bruins are just 9-23 in their last 32 here, so take Montreal and play on the UNDER.
