Ottawa at Montreal

Ottawa has scored 13 goals the last three games, winning at Edmonton (5-2) as A +180 dog and against first-place Boston (5-2) the last game as a +160 underdog. Ottawa is 9-5 against teams that allow 3+ goals per game and they face a Montreal defense that is fourth-worst in the NHL allowing 3.29 goals per contest. The Canadiens played last night, so rookie goalie Cayden Primeau gets the nod for just his second career start. He comes off a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche last week. Montreal is a .500 team at home, is on a 3-9 run overall, and has a 4-9 record against losing teams. Play Ottawa as a Max Play today.
