Montreal is riding a six-game win streak following its 4-1 victory over Tampa Bay on Tuesday when Juraj Slavkovsky, Mike Matheson, and Cole Caufield each had a goal and an assist to back Jakub Dobes, who had 36 saves. The Canadiens have allowed only nine goals during the streak, and the last four have gone UNDER. Jacob Fowler is likely in net tonight and he is 7-5-2 with a 2.59 goals-against average. He has won his past two starts while stopping 42 of 46 shots against the New York Islanders and Nashville. Montreal has won five straight against the Metropolitan Division, and it has gone UNDER in five straight road games. The Rangers have lost six of nine, and they are 4-2 UNDER in their past six games. New York is 25-11-1 UNDER at home this season. The Rangers have won three straight, but all were against teams that are out of the playoff picture. Take the Canadiens to win, and bet this game UNDER.
