Montreal at Winnipeg

This is a tough situational spot for slumping Montreal, its third game in four nights - all on the road. The Canadiens have dropped three in a row, scoring two goals each time while surrendering 12 goals! Montreal concludes a four-game road trip against Western Conference opponents Saturday night on an 11-28 run, including 7-19 on the road. Montreal managed a season-low 15 shots in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles on Thursday. Winnipeg is 10th in the NHL with 25.56 hits per game and the last thing Montreal needs is to play another physical team. The Jets are 10-4 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400 and the home team is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings. Play Winnipeg.
