Buffalo at Montreal

Montreal has lost four of its past five games and 11 of 16, and the Canadiens have won only 11 of 29 home games this season. Montreal comes off a 4-3 loss to Washington on Saturday for its third OVER in four games with Jake Allen in net. Sam Montembeault will start tonight and he is 12-9-4 with a 3.21 goals-against average and he allowed seven goals in a 7-4 loss to the New York Rangers his last outing on Thursday. Buffalo won the last meeting 6-1 on Jan. 4 and that game went OVER, and the Sabres also went OVER in their 4-3 loss to Anaheim on Monday. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is likely for this game and he owns a 2.54 goals-against average and a.910 save percentage. Montreal is 13-38 its past 51 games against the Atlantic Division and the Canadiens are 8-3 OVER as home underdogs. Take the Sabres (Max Play) and the OVER.
