Winnipeg at Montreal

Montreal won the only meeting this season 5-4 in overtime in November and the Jets are playing a back-to-back after beating Ottawa 6-5 last night and their fourth road game in six days. Blake Wheeler scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck allowed five goals against the Senators. Hellebuyck has allowed 14 goals his last four starts. Montreal is coming off a tough 2-1 loss to New Jersey on Sunday when Taylor Hall scored a short-handed goal late in the third period for the Devils and Carey Price had 30 saves in a losing cause. The Jets are just 5-13 the last 18 meetings and 4-11 their last 15 after scoring at least five goals their previous game. Winnipeg is 8-21-1 the last 30 meetings at Montreal. The scheduling situation favors the home team, so take the Canadiens.
