Montreal at Ottawa

A high NHL toal but Ottawa is one of the worst offensive teams in the league averaging 2.45 goals. Ottawa won at Montreal the last game, 3-2, and is 76-49 UNDER the total off a road win against a division rival. They're home after a brutal seven-game road trek. Montreal has allowed an average of 2.3 goals over the last six games and is 11-5-1 UNDER the total against losing teams. The Canadiens are also 17-8-4 UNDER in the second game of a home-and-home situation, plus 25-9-1 UNDER when playing on one day of rest. With the UNDER covering in the last five meetings between these rivals, look for more defense than offense. Play Montreal/Ottawa UNDER the total.
