Montreal looks to even the series after losing 2-0 in the opener as the Canadiens couldn't get anything past Henrik Lundqvist, who made 31 saves. Tanner Glass scored in the first period and then Michael Grabner scored an empty-net goal in the final minutes. Montreal goalie Carey Price made 29 saves on Wednesday and he is 37-20-5 on the season with a 2.23 goals-against average and .923 save percentage. The Canadiens won all three meetings with the Rangers in the regular season and they have won six of the last eight meetings overall. New York has lost five of its last six games following a win and the Rangers are 1-4 their last five road games. The Canadiens outshot New York 16-5 in the first period in Game 1 and look for them to break through on Friday. The Rangers are 40-37 OVER for the season. Play the Canadiens and the OVER.
