The due factor is definitely in Montreal's favor as the Canadiens have lost five one-goal games in a row, including the last two in shootouts. Jake Allen will be in net for Montreal and with four wins is his past seven decisions, he'll try to get his team over the hump. The Canadiens won the last meeting 5-2 on Feb. 21 as a +300 underdog and New Jersey has lost four of five against the Atlantic Division. Akira Schmid is expected to start for the Devils and he had 20 saves on Thursday in a 3-2 shootout win over Washington. However, Montreal is getting huge line value in this contest even though it has come so close its last few games. Take advantage and make it a Max Play on the Canadiens.
