Montreal at Ottawa

Montreal has speed on offense, but is struggling on the defensive end allowing 10 goals the last threee games. Montreal is rested, not having played since Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks. Ottawa's goaltending is a problem. Craig Anderson missed the past two games with a lower body injury, and while he has been practicing, coach Guy Boucher said he might not suit up until Tuesday. These teams have met twice in a pair of high scoring tilts. Captain Erik Karlsson lifted Ottawa to a pair of early-season victories over Montreal, scoring the decisive goal in a 4-3 shootout and the tiebreaking tally in a 4-3 win in the rematch. Play this one OVER the total.
