The past three meetings have gone UNDER, although this is the first one this season. Sam Montembeault is confirmed for Montreal, and he actually has performed better on the road, where he is 6-3-1 with a 2.97 goals-against average. Anaheim has stayed UNDER three straight following its 5-1 win over the New York Islanders on Wednesday. Backup goalie Ville Husso had 42 saves for the Ducks, who killed three second-period penalties. Lukas Dostal is expected back in the crease tonight with a 24-14-2 record, including 16-5-1 at home. Montreal looks to bounce back from an embarrassing performance on the defensive side when Jakub Dobes allowed six goals and the Canadiens lost 7-5 to San Jose on Tuesday. It was Montreal's first loss in regulation since Jan. 24. Take the UNDER.
