Montreal looks to avenge a 3-1 loss at Tampa Bay last Thursday as it also tries to snap a five-game losing streak. The Canadiens have had a hard time scoring their last five games with four of them being on the road and then a home contest against San Jose on Tuesday. They're getting huge line value here on their home ice and Montreal has won six of the last nine meetings with the Lightning. Carey Price has a 3.01 goals-against average and .906 save percentage, but hasn't had much help from his teammates. The Canadiens are 6-2 their last eight games after a loss of at least three goals and 20-7 their last 27 after a home loss of three or more goals. The home team bounces back in this matchup, so play the Canadiens.
