Pittsburgh keeps making changes on offense but nothing is helping at #26 in the league in goals scored, and coming off a 3-1 loss at Chicago. At least Pittsburgh is ninth in goals allowed, on a dazzling 37-18-2 run UNDER the total on the road. The UNDER is also 38-18-3 when the Penguins are on the road against a team with a winning home record. Montreal has turned things around, 3-2 the last five games despite only one of those at home. Montreal is #10 in the NHL in goals allowed. The Canadiens scored once on the power play and added another on the penalty kill in a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night. The Canadiens were playing their first home game in nearly three weeks. Montreal is on a 6-0-2 run UNDER the total at home, plus 8-2-3 UNDER when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game, so look for a defensive war. Play Pittsburgh/Montreal UNDER.
