Winnipeg at Montreal

Montreal has won three of five and are getting a good effort on the defensive side lately. The Habs come into this contest off a 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday with Sam Montembeault stopping 38 shots, and Cole Caufield scored the game-winner midway through the third. Montembeault is expected in net tonight and he has bounced back from two rough outings, allowing only nine goals his past four starts. He'll try to slow down a high-powered Jets offense here that has won three in a row. The home team has won four of the past five meetings and the Canadiens have stepped up and won seven of 10 versus teams that have a .600 or higher winning percentage. Take the Canadiens as a Max Play.
