Premium Pick

Pittsburgh cannot afford many losses as it struggles for a playoff spot. The Penguins need to stop blowing late leads as they lost two games in the past week after leading heading into the third period, including 4-3 in overtime at Buffalo on Friday night. Montreal also will be playing a back-to-back after beating the New York Rangers 4-2. Joey Armia scored three goals to back Carey Price, who had 28 saves. Price is probable again tonight while Casey DeSmith will probably give Matt Murray a rest for the Penguins. DeSmith is 14-11-5 with a 2.86 goals-against average and .914 save percentage. The Canadiens have lost 25 of their last 35 Saturday games and they are 3-7 their last seven games versus Eastern Conference teams. Montreal is 15-42 its last 57 games against teams with winning records.  Take the Penguins.
