Montreal looks to bounce back from its 2-1 loss in Game 4. The loss evened the series as the Rangers ended a six-game home losing streak in the playoffs dating back to 2015. Torrey Mitchell scored the lone goal for the Canadiens and Carey Price made 30 saves. Montreal was outsahot 32-24 and had only 12 shots on goal in the final two periods combined. Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves for New York, which still has lost five of the last seven meetings with the Canadiens. Price is 37-20-5 with a 2.23 goals-against average and .923 save percentage and has only allowed seven goals in the series. The Rangers are 1-6 over their last seven games after a win and have lost five of their last six road games. Montreal has won 12 of its last 15 when its opponent scored two or fewer goals its previous game. Take the Canadiens.
