Montreal has more road wins (11) than Toronto has at home, where the Maple Leafs have a losing record. Despite a recent skid Montreal is still outscoring opponents on the season and ranks #10 in goals scored, #13 in goals allowed, with a top 4 penalty kill. The Canadiens haven't played since Tuesday and are 39-18 in their last 57 Saturday games. Montreal has won four in a row and eight of 10 at Air Canada Centre. They've averaged 3.4 non-shootout goals in 14 games against the Maple Leafs. Rebuilding Toronto ranks #24 in goals scored, #19 in goals allowed and #27 on the power play. Toronto has been outscored 22-8 during a 1-5-1 stretch and was blanked for the second time in that span Thursday, 1-0 by Carolina for its third straight home defeat. The Maple Leafs have failed to convert on all 19 power-play chances in six games and are 2 for 42 in the last 12. Toronto is 12-39 against the Eastern Conference, so grab the more talented visitors and play Montreal.
