NHL GAME OF THE WEEK >> 10-5 L15 (72-49 ON THE SEASON) <<
(NHL) Arizona vs. Montreal,
Money Line: -170.00 Montreal (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: No need to overthink this one. I think the the Habs are well worth the price of admission in this spot. The Coyotes have actually been better on the road than at home this year, but after their big win in Ottawa just last night, I think they'll be "dog tired" in the second game of the back to back and in this difficult venue. The Canadiens on the other hand are out to atone for a 5-2 home loss to the Flyers. From a situational stand point, this one definitely sets up great for the home side.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well though, but Arizona is still just 52-119 in its last 171 vs. teams with winning records and only 6-17 in its last 23 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, while Montreal is 10-4 in its last 14 vs. teams with losing records. All in all, I feel that the price is right. Play on Montreal.
