Montreal at Edmonton

Montreal comes off a season qualifying for the NHL playoff bubble and had the offense looking sharp in the opener, netting four goals. They are an outstanding possession team, playing well at 5-on-5 behind Nick Suzuki, the key piece in the Max Pacioretty trade two years ago. While Montreal has had two full days off, Edmonton has just one day after playing two straight against Vancouver Wednesday and Thursday, surrendering seven goals. The underdog is 14-4 in the last 18 meetings between these teams and the wagering value is on the rested team on the puckline. Back Montreal to cover on the puckline.
