Montreal at Tampa Bay

Premium Pick

Montreal just completed a huge upset series win over the heavily-favored Vegas Golden Knights. Now now they'll face what is arguably the best offense they have seen in the playoffs, and you can expect the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning to get a lot more shots on Carey Price than the Knights. Also, Andrei Vasilevskiy is the premier playoff goalie as he showed in his fifth career postseason shutout in Game 7 against the Islanders. Vasilevskiy has a 1.99 goals-against average and .936 save percentage so far in the 2021 playoffs, and 2.28 and .923 in 76 games in his postseason career. Tampa Bay has won nine of the past 10 meetings and they are 64-17 the past 81 games after scoring two or fewer goals. The Bolts are also 48-19 in their past 67 home games. Take the Lightning.
