The set-up: Montreal skated to a 5-4 win in Boston two weeks ago, but I think this re-match will be a classic "goaltenders battle." Boston's won five of the last six in this series North of the Border, but it comes in having lost two straight in it. Boston has won three straight coming into this one, while Montreal has lost four in a row. Jaroslav Halak is expected in net for the visiting side and he's 4-1-3 with a 2.56 GAA, while Montreal's Carey Price is 10-6-3 with a 2.89 GAA.

The pick: Boston has seen the total go under in 42 of its last 62 after alowing four or more goals in its previous contest, while Montreal has seen the total dip under in 16 of its last 24 after three or more consecutive losses. This number is high.
