Ottawa at Montreal

The Canadiens have gotten off to a very quick start as they have dropped just four games so far this season including two in shootouts. They suffered only two losses in their first 10 games, but suddenly have now dropped two straight. The problem has been on defense and ultimately, behind the net. A team that allowed a total of just 20 goals in their first nine games has suddenly allowed 14 in their last three. That takes them from allowing 2.2 in the first nine games to 4.67 in their last three - and wins are suddenly becoming losses. The Senators have put together some good road efforts and are above .500 on the road for the season. The Timing as well as their recent matchups looks good for the dog here, which has shown the Senators dominating as they have been winners in eight of the last 11 meetings. Live dog here, so I'll back the Senators.
