This is a classic scheduling disadvantage for Montreal as it has to go on the road two days after an emotional, come-from-behind series win over the Maple Leafs on Monday. It's not much time for the Canadiens to recover and we saw what happened to Vegas, which was in the same situation and was blown out by Colorado in Game 1 of their series. Winnipeg has been off since May 24 and are obviously well-rested, and the Jets have won seven of the past 10 meetings. Connor Hellebuyck has a 1.60 goals-against average and .950 save percentage in this year's playoffs and the Jets have won his last six starts. Hellebuyck was 6-3 with a 2.67 GAA vs. the Canadiens in nine games this season. Six of the past seven meetings overall, and eight of the past 10 at Winnipeg have gone OVER the total. Take the Jets on the puck line and play this game to go OVER.
