Florida at Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens are off to a poor start and have yet to win in four attempts at home. The Florida Panthers have done a good job to open the season, but have been a breakeven club thus far on the road. The Panthers dropped consecutive 3-0 decisions, went out and made a trade with the Canucks, and won their last game 4-2. It may take time for the chemistry to gel on this club, especially on the road, where the Panthers haven't exactly been reaping the harvest as a dog. They are a dismal 34-73 in their last 107 in this role, including a 2-11 mark in their last 13 as a road dog. Montreal is 10-3-1 in their last 14 vs. the Southeast, so I look for Montreal to get their first home win tonight.
