Montreal at San Jose

This is a long road trip for Montreal to the West Coast, so they are not going to get into an up-tempo game. The Canadiens have also turned things around, winning three of four while allowing a total of eight goals, part of a 4-1 run UNDER. Montreal is still in the playoff picture after an upset of Washington (4-3) and Saturday's 4-1 win over Toronto. They are a dog to a San Jose team in a tough situational spot, having played last night, and the Sharks are 4-9 in the third game of a three-in-four situation, plus 1-5 when playing on no rest. The Sharks snapped a two-game skid with Sunday's 4-1 victory at Vancouver and San Jose has surrendered only three goals in the last five games. The UNDER is 5-0 when these teams clash, so don't look for an up-tempo game while grabbing the dog. Take Montreal and the UNDER.
