A tough situational spot for both teams, the third game in four nights. It's even tough for the home team as Florida is 15-37 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, plus 18-38 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. They played last night, losing 4-0 at home to Tampa Bay. Montreal is in town with a powerhouse defense, tops in the NHL allowing 2.24 goals per contest. Against teams with a losing record, the Canadians are 4-1, as well as 2-0-3 UNDER the total. Montreal didn't play yesterday and prefers a slow, defensive pace with the UNDER 4-1-4 in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation. Montreal goalie Carey Price is 8-4-1 with two shutouts and a 1.76 goals-against average versus Florida. Florida is just 25th in the NHL in goals scored, 27th on the power play, and 3-1-1 UNDER the total at home. When these teams meet the Canadians are 5-1, including 5-1 at Florida, plus the UNDER is 27-12-13. Play Montreal and the game UNDER the total.
