Montreal at Boston

Montreal has won 10 of the last 14 games betweent these clubs. They look for the sweep in the home-and-home series and their fifth straight win against the Bruins. The Canadiens are fighting for their playoff lives. Montreal is indeed playing like a team in need having won four of their last five games. Boston's defense is terrible and Montreal has found some offense of late. Home teams that allow 3+ goals per game, after scoring 1 goal or less in two straight games are just 32-65 (33%) in second-half play over the past decade. Without offense, these teams are toast. Boston struggles at home vs. good offensive teams and we like the motivated dog here
