Montreal at Vancouver

Montreal has won six of the last 10 games, with four of the wins in one-sided scores of 3-0, 3-1, 6-3 and 10-1. Canadians goalie Carey Price is 8-2-2 with a 2.14 goals-against average versus Vancouver. They head to a banged up Vancouver team ranked #29 in goals scored, #21 in goals allowed and in penalty killing. The Canucks have scored just 10 times during a 1-5-0 slide and are dealing with a rash of injuries. Vancouver will be without top scorer Brock Boeser and one of their best defensemen, Chris Tanev. Boeser is considered a strong candidate for NHL rookie of the year and was hurt Sunday in a 6-1 loss to the Calgary Flames. Boeser left the arena on crutches. The Canucks also have been without injured top center Bo Horvat (foot), winger Sven Baertschi, Erik Gudbranson (wrist) lately, and winger Derek Dorsett's career-ending neck injury in November continues to haunt the team. The Canucks have been outscored 29-10 the last six games. The Canadians have won three in a row versus the Canucks by a combined 9-4 count, so back the visitors to win by more than one goal. Play Montreal on the puckline.
