Ottawa at Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens drew a tough early schedule that has found them on the road in five of their six games and overall stand at 2-4. Ottawa has had the luxury of having four of their first six at home, so there is a different look and feel for each of these teams for this one. This has been an extremely favorite-dominated series as the favorite has cashed in 14 of the last 17. The Canadiens have done their part as they have taken it to the Senators in six of the last eight played, and show a nice track record at home when favored from -110 to -150, where they are 14-5. The Senators have been anything but road warriors as they come into this game with a 20-41 mark in their last 61 on the road. Their record looks flashy at 4-2, but no more home cookin’. I like Montreal in this one.
