Montreal has been a good road team thanks to offense. But right now their defense is horrible. They've dropped three of their last five, allowing 3+ goals in all of those games. New York is playing great defense. They have won six of eight games, holding opponents in the six wins to 2 goals or less. Overall they are giving up just 2.0 goals per game over the stretch. They are 7-2 at home due to their great defensive play here. Montreal is just 5-17 since last season on the road vs. teams that conver 17.5%+ of their power play opportunities. We like New York's chances of holding Montreal down and notching a big win.
