Montreal at Tampa Bay

Montreal had little time to prepare for Tampa Bay in Game 1, plus the Canadiens understandably were in a letdown situation after a huge upset series victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Carey Price had an off-night allowing five goals, but he still has a 2.18 goals-against average and .928 save percentage this postseason and that was the first time he had given up more than two goals since Game 1 of the Vegas series. He bounced back to allow a total of only nine the next five games against the Knights. Montreal is 10-1 its past 11 games playing with one day of rest and 9-3 its last 12 games as an underdog. Also, Montreal has won six of its past eight road games. Take the Canadiens.
