Ottawa has lost five of its last seven games (2-3-2) after dropping the back end of a home-and-home with the Detroit Red Wings over the weekend. The Senators will be without leading scorer Mark Stone, who was suspended two games by the NHL on Monday. Ottawa has little defense, #25 in goals allowed, and heads to Montreal where the Canadiens have not lost. The Senators are 16-38 when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game. Ottawa is 1-for-24 on the power play over the past seven games and has been torched for eight tallies on its last 24 short-handed situations. Ottawa is also 15-7-2 UNDER the total on the road. Montreal is a powerhouse everywhere, off an impressive 5-1 rout of Winnipeg. They don't have Carey Price, but backup goalie Mike Condon is unbeaten and will make his third straight start and fifth overall. Condon beat Ottawa 3-1 in his NHL debut on Oct. 11 and has been backed by tons off offensive support in his last three appearances, with Montreal scoring 18 goals in that span. The Canadiens are 40-18 against the the Eastern Conference and 6-0 in their last six home games. They are also 5-2 against Ottawa and the UNDER is 4-1-1 when they meet. Back Montreal and the UNDER.
