An unstoppable force will come up against an immovable object in Tuesday's marquee match-up in the NHL. We are of course talking about the game at Bell Centre between the top scoring Tampa Bay Lightning and the masters of defense, the Montreal Canadiens. With only two points separating the Eastern Conference leading Canadiens from the visitors, I think we'll be in for a tight low-scoring affair in Montreal tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Goaltending - We have no reason to believe that either team would go with anyone but their star netminder for this high profile game. Carey Price has the top mark in the NHL with his 1.89 GAA and tended the net in the 2-0 win at Arizona Saturday, recording his seventh shutout for the season. The Lightning's Ben Bishop has been dominant of late as well, posting a 1.84 GAA while going 5-1-0 over his last six starts. He's had plenty of success against tonight's opponent as he is 7-1-2 with a 1.50 GAA lifetime against the Habs.

2. Trends - The Habs have seen the total go under at a rate of 3-0-1 in their last four home at home. The Lightning's offensive outburst in the 5-4 win against the Stars Saturday could work to our advantage here as the under is 5-2 in their last seven after scoring five goals or more their previous game.

3. X-Factor - Steven Stamkos may be leading the Lightning with his 36 goals for the season, but he's not had much success at Bell Centre over his career notching only two goals and two assists over 10 visits.

Selection: This is a play on the total to go UNDER(10*)
