Montreal has won five of its last six road games and six of its last eight overall following Monday's 6-2 victory over Winnipeg. Tomas Tatar and Phillip Danault each scored two goals and Carey Price stopped 27 shots against the Jets. Price is 16-11-1-2 with a 2.86 goals-against average and he has won six of his last eight starts while allowing only 16 goals in that span. Tampa Bay defeated the Panthers 6-1 on Monday, but the Lightning is 2-10 its last 12 games after scoring at least five goals its previous game. The Canadiens have won nine of their last 12 versus teams with winning records and they are 8-3 their last 11 versus an opponent that scored five or more goals its previous game. Play the Canadiens.
