The Devils were beat 5-2 last time out as a -190 favorite by the New York Islanders at home. Montreal has won 2 straight games and is 4-2 in its last 6 games. Cristobal Huet had 31 saves and got his first shutout of the season in the win over Carolina. The Canadiens are among the league leaders in killing penalties at 92.4 percent. Montreal has gotten balanced scoring over the last two games, with eight players recording goals. The Devil's haven't scored more then 2 goals in their last five games. They have been outscored 17-8 during those 5 games. The only two wins in those 5 games were shutouts by Brodeur. Bottom line is New Jersey can't score and Montreal is hot. I expect Montreal to come out on top in this one.
