Premium Pick

Montreal has won five of its past six games, including 5-2 over Tampa Bay on Sunday when Jake Evans scored for the fifth straight game and Sam Montembeault had 21 saves for the Canadiens. He has a 2.90 goals-against average and Montreal has won five of Montembeault's past six starts. They could also go with rookie Jakub Dobes, who had a sensational NHL debut shutting out Florida 4-0 with 34 saves on Saturday. Vegas has gone UNDER six of seven home games and the Canadiens have stayed UNDER six of eight against Western Conference teams. The Golden Knights are 9-3 UNDER their past 12 games overall. There is huge line value in the road underdog. Take the Canadiens and the UNDER.
