Tampa Bay at Montreal

Premium Pick

Tampa Bay is on the verge of winning the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row, but the toughest game to win in a seven-game series is the fourth one and the Canadiens actually have outplayed the Lightning for much of the series with nothing to show for it. Montreal needs to score first as they are 11-2 in the postseason when getting the first goal, and 1-6 otherwise. Carey Price has not played up to the elite standard we were seeing in the first few rounds, and his defensemen have struggled to clear the slot, but there is no more room for error. The Canadiens are 36-15 their past 51 games after losing by at least three goals at home, and they have come too far to give up that easily. Take the Canadiens on the puck line.
