A March game between the Bruins and Canadiens with playoff implications. Just like old times. Both teams are looking to get it right in this important matchup. Boston has really struggled on the road. The Bruins just lost to the Devils, 4-3, as a short road underdog yesterday. Jeremy Swayman should be back in net for Boston after Joonas Korpisalo was the goalie against New Jersey. The Bruins have surrendered only nine goals during the past five games Swayman has been in goal. This will be the Bruins' seventh game in 11 days. So they do not figure to be pushing a fast tempo carrying such a high fatigue rating. Montreal is in bounce-back mode, too, having lost consecutive games - both at home - to the Ducks and Sharks during this past weekend. The Canadiens have failed to reach four goals in each of their last four games. Take the UNDER.

Montreal at Boston
The teams have split two meetings this season, and Montreal will try to make it two in a row after beating the Bruins 6-2 on Dec. 23.

The Canadiens were victims of a similar outburst as Buffalo scored three times on its first nine shots and won 4-2 while being outshot 34-17. Montreal has the ability to bounce back, and the Canadiens are #4 in the league, averaging 3.37 goals per game, and Boston allows 3.09. Montreal is 6-0 OVER its past six road games against teams with .600 home winning percentages. The Canadiens are 19-6-2 OVER against opponents with winning records and 15-5-1 OVER their past 21 road contests. Jeremy Swayman is the likely starter for Boston, and he comes off a 6-2 loss to Dallas when he allowed six goals on 34 shots. Take the Canadiens and the OVER.
