The set-up: The Flames fell 5-3 at home to Nashville, but they got their road trip started off on the right foot with a 4-1 win over the Rangers on Sunday night. But with two nights off before back-to-back home games against Pittsburgh, Washington and then a road game at Toronto, it's definitely not too difficult to imagine the visitors getting caught "looking ahead" here. For the Habs they had won three straight behind some rejuvenated defensive play and great goaltending, before then falling apart in a 4-3 OT loss at Ottawa. With an extended road trip started on Thursday, I think Montreal returns to form here.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Habs have seen the total go "under" the number in 7 of their last 11 after allowing four or more goals in their previous outing. This number is high, play the "under.
