New York at Montreal

New York's defense is 12th in the NHL in goals allowed and ninth in save percentage (.906). That defense was on display in the last game, a 3-0 win against Buffalo. While the Islanders are working on two days of rest, the Canadiens are working on just one after a 6-3 loss at Boston. Last-place Montreal is getting outscored by 25 goals, the second-worst differential in the Eastern Conference. The offense is 20th in goals scored, while the defense is last in goals allowed (3.83 goals per game) and 31st in save percentage (.878). They're on a 4-11 run, so back the visitors with the superior defense. Play New York.
