Montreal at Ottawa

Ottawa has won six in a row vs. the Habs and this is surprisingly the first time these two teams have met this season. Montreal has won their past two games, but the Canadiens still have lost six of 10 and they average only 2.71 goals per game (28th in the league). Ottawa is ninth with 3.77 goals per game and Jake Allen is expected in net for Montreal. Allen is 5-8-2 with a 3.48 goals-against average and he has lost eight of his past 10 starts. The Canadiens have lost four of five against teams that allowed at least five goals their previous game. Montreal is playing a back-to-back after defeating New Jersey 3-2 last night. Take the Senators as a Max Play.
