A difficult situational spot for Montreal. This is their third straight road game and the second of a back-to-back spot after losing at the Kings last night, 3-2. Montreal is 26th in the NHL in goals scored getting the third-fewest shots on goal, while the defense is 25th in goals surrendered and 26th in shots on goal allowed. Montreal is 34-60 versus losing teams, plus 25-41 against teams that are outscored by 0.3+ goals per game. Anaheim is rested and has won three of four, including as underdogs at Washington and Carolina at +260 and +365. It's the third consecutive home contest for the Ducks, who have won five in a row versus teams that are outscored by 0.65+ goals per game in the second half of the season. And Anaheim has won the last three meetings against the Canadiens by scores of 5-2, 5-4, and 4-2. Play Anaheim.
