San Jose at Montreal

This is the third leg of a four-game road trip for San Jose, a long way from home. They've been playing well, but this team still lacks offensive punch at #21 in the NHL in goals scored, and #18 on the power play. They come off a win at Ottawa but Center Logan Couture (second on the team with 11 goals and third with 20 points) left the game after taking a cross-check to the back of his helmet. They called up some help from the minors but scoring depth has been hard to come by. San Jose is also missing Tomas Hertl, who is out with an injury. Montreal is home and has it all - fifth in goals scored, #11 on the power play, and fourth in goals allowed. Montreal is 14-1-2 at home as part of a 24-9-3 home run. The home team is also 15-3 in the last 18 meetings. Take Montreal.
