The oddsmakers are calling this even, but there's great value with a one-sided win by the home team. Montreal has lost two in a row because of a weak offense (#21 in goals scored, #25 on the power play) and a tough schedule. This is their fifth road game in six contests, which explains a 1-5 run. Goalie Carey Price is 1-3-1 with a 2.41 GAA in five starts this month. New York has a strong offense, third in the NHL in goals scored, and a great home record. The Islanders are 20-9 in their last 29 home games, plus 29-11 after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Play the New York Islanders on the puckline.
