The oddsmakers are anticipating a great defensive battle but hold on: These are also two of the best offenses in the NHL. Montreal is #1 in scoring averaging 3.5 goals per contest. Montreal is 6-0-1 OVER the total on the road as well as a 6-1 run OVER overall. The NY Rangers can match them with offensive firepower, fourth in the league in goals scored. The OVER is 3-1-1 after the Rangers allow two goals or less in their previous game, plus they are 3-1-1 OVER the total against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Take this one to finish OVER.
