*8* play on Montreal Canadiens.

The Montreal Canadiens are fighting hard to make a push for the post-season, while their rivals Toronto have packed it in, looking to rebuild for the future. The Leafs will visit the Bell Centre Saturday night, and this is a "must win" for the Habs. My money is on the home favorite.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Habs are 16-11-2 at home, and they are 4-0-1 in their last five home games. They have won five straight home meetings with Toronto, and the Leafs are just 13-44 in their last 57 road games.

2. Goaltending - Mike Condon is coming off three straight fantastic performances, stopping 97-of-103 shots while going 2-0-1. He stopped 17-of-19 shots in a 3-2 win at Toronto earlier this season. His GAA of 2.19 at home is far better than it is on the road.

3. X-Factor - The Maple Leafs are 3-9 in their last 12 games playing on 1 days rest.

Selection: This is a play on the Montreal Canadiens (8*)
