Montreal caught fire about a month ago, and the Canadiens have won 13 of 18, although they do come off a 4-2 loss to Detroit on Thursday. They are expected to have rookie sensation Jakub Dobes in the crease and he is 5-0-0 with a 1.55 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage, including a shutout. New Jersey has lost four of five, but the Devils did defeat Boston 5-1 on Wednesday. The Devils have lost seven of eight road games, and they are 10-4 UNDER against Eastern Conference teams. New Jersey is 9-2 UNDER its past 11 games overall. Montreal has won five of seven home contests and four straight overall after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. New Jersey has lost four road games in a row against teams with winning home records. The Devils have stayed UNDER five of six playing with two days rest and they are 8-2 UNDER following a win. Take the Canadiens and the UNDER.
