Montreal at Boston

The Boston Bruins have gotten off to a sluggish start in defense of their Stanley Cup win a year ago. Fortunately, they face a Montreal team that has been even worse, despite playing six of their nine games at home and bring a disappointing 2-5-2 mark to Boston tonight. The Canadiens have had all sorts of problems finding the nets. In five of their nine games, they have scored 1 goal or less, and you’re not going to find the win column very often with that lack of production. While they did score 5 in their previous game, the offensive inconsistency shows up, as they are now 0-7 following a game where they scored 5 or more. The Bruins have taken note of opponents’ scoring barrages from their previous game to go 37-15 in their last 52 when facing an opponent off of scoring 5 or more. Play on Boston to get this one.
