Montreal at Dallas

The Montreal Canadiens used to feature an elite team year after year, and this might be one approaching that status. Despite some poor play in their last several games, this team is 17-9-2 on the season and are a force to be dealt with as the season progresses. They own a winning record on the road, and the line is reflective of their recent play, and advantaged on their behalf for this one. Dallas has won just four times here in 13 games, and has been playing worse than Montreal, dropping each of their last four. Their defense has been non-existent as they have allowed 5 goals in each of the last four contests. The Canadiens have taken advantage of that as they are 6-1 in their last seven vs. an opponent that gave up 5 goals or more in their previous game. The Stars are a woeful 3-14 in their last 17 after scoring 2 or fewer, and are in a bad spot here vs. a better team. Play on Montreal.
