Montreal at Vancouver

The Vancouver Canucks have struggled out of the gate and enter this one 0-3. This is a team that finished 23-9 in their last 32 a year ago, so I don't expect them to stay down long. Montreal has gotten off to a 2-1 start, but both wins required OT and this will be their fourth straight on the road to open the season. The wear and tear and travel are beginning to show, as they are off a loss to Calgary in their last time out. Add in the two OT games and back-to-back games here and it may be too much to ask. Montreal is just 7-18 in their last 25 on the road and now facing a hungry Canucks team that is 16-5 in their last 21 at home. Then the clincher is that Vancouver has been a house of horrors for Montreal as they have dropped their last seven here. I'll go with Vancouver in this one.
