Outside of one good game against Atlanta, the Lightning have been pretty bad of late. They've lose six of seven and have giving up 4+ goals in six of those games. So why back them here? Well, they can score. They are averaging 3.7 goals per game on the road. They are facing a team that has a pretty bad defense too. Montreal is allowing 3.1 per game at home and worse than that of late. And, Montreal has scored just 2 goals or less in six of their last ten games. Decent spot at decent price for the underdog.
