Montreal at Pittsburgh

Premium Pick

Pittsburgh was floundering before the shutdown, losing eight of its last 11 games and have suffered numerous key injuries, although the Penguins still have managed a 40-23-6 record. Montreal stayed in playoff contention even after some trades that were meant to acquire some talent and, of course, the Canadiens still have Carey Price in net. And although he's had better seasons, he still owns a 2.79 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage in 58 starts.  Montreal still enjoys a stellar first line consisting of Tomas Tatar, Brendan Gallagher, and Phillip Danault. If Price gets hot, the Canadiens can make this a competitive series. Also, Montreal was 17-14-3 on the road this season. Play the Canadiens on the puckline.

1 unit on Montreal +1.5 goals -170 (puckline) (risk 1 to return 1.59)
