New Jersey at Montreal

The New Jersey offense is clicking, tallying 7 goals the last two games (both wins). And when they face bad teams they love to go up-tempo and pour it on, as the OVER is 5-0-1 in the Devils’ last six road games against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. They are also 10-4-2 OVER the total in their last 16 games as a road underdog. Montreal has scored 10 goals the last three games, but lost two of them because of shoddy defense and goal tending, allowing 12 goals. This team does not play well against good teams and note that the OVER is 3-0-2 in the Canadiens’ last five home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600, like they face here. In addition, the Canadiens are 6-0-2 OVER the total in their last eight against the Atlantic division. Play the OVER.
