Carolina at Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens are turning the corner at 9-4-1 to start the season. That is despite a stretch of games where they lost three straight. They have allowed 2 goals or less in eight of those 13 games and have really stepped it up in recent play allowing just a single goal in their last two games. Carolina has played well and in their eight wins has defended the net superbly, allowing a total of just 14 goals. They are currently on a three game winning streak and have won five of their last six. They are well rested which has been a sign of their defense getting after it as they are 10-4-1 to the UNDER in their last 15 on three or more days rest. The Canadiens are building on a solid defensive effort, having been 11-3-2 to the UNDER in their last 16 when they allowed 2 or less in their previous game. The last 16 played between these teams in Montreal have seen 11 fail to reach the total. Play the UNDER.
