Tampa Bay comes off a 5-2 loss to New Jersey as Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed four goals and he has given up 3.5 goals his past eight starts. Montreal played well while beating Pittsburgh 6-4 last Tuesday, but then got routed 9-4 by Florida two nights later before losing to Tampa Bay. The Canadiens will likely start Sam Montembeault in net in this quick revenge spot. Montreal has gone OVER four straight and seven of eight and the Lightning have gone OVER their last three games. Tampa Bay is just 3-8 in a 3-in-4 days spot and it is 7-1-2 OVER after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game. The OVER is 8-2-1 in Montreal's past 11 home games and the Canadiens are 12-3-1 OVER versus the Eastern Conference. There is value with the home underdog playing consecutive games versus the same opponent. Take the Canadiens as a Max Play and the OVER.
