Montreal is playing a back-to-back, which means Antti Niemi should be in goal. He is not much of a dropoff from starter Carey Price as Niemi had 53 saves his last game in a 5-1 win over Florida on Tuesday for his third win in a row after beating Dallas and Detroit. Niemi had some rough starts earlier in the season, but has come on strong recently. Rookie Carter Hart has a 2.72 goals-against average and .915 save percentage for Philadelphia and he has won his last two starts. The Canadiens are 13-3 UNDER their last 16 games overall and 6-0 UNDER their last six home games. Also, Montreal has stayed UNDER its last seven games after giving up two or fewer goals its previous game. The Flyers have gone UNDER four of their last five road games and five of the last seven meetings have gone UNDER. Take the UNDER.
