Montreal at Nashville

The Montreal Canadiens are playing sub-.500 hockey on the season, but the road has brought out the best in this team where they sit at 4-3 on the season. They have bested their opponents by a combined score of 16-13 in their last six on the road, so they are showing good value here in Nashville. The Predators on the other hand, have had problems defending home ice where their opponents have actually outscored them through five played at home.  The Habs are playing good hockey right now at 5-2 over their last seven and have also been 4-1 in their last six after allowing 2 or fewer in their previous contest. The Predators’ home woes extended vs. a team with a winning road record at 0-4 in their last four. Montreal gets this one, so play on the Canadiens.
