The set-up: Montreal will be risking life and limb to secure a victory today. The Canadiens have lost five in a row and enter off a humbling 8-1 home loss to Boston. New Jersey comes in having lost three of its last four. Jersey goalie Louis Domingue is 3-1-0 with a 2.86 GAA lifetime vs. Montreal. Unfortuantely for him his team is averaging only 2.52 GPG this year.

The pick: Montreal has conceded a whopping 14 goals over its last two games and clearly all eyes will be on its defensive play tonight and on goaltender Carey Price, who is 12-13-1 with a 2.39 GAA lifetime vs. the Devils. Three of the past five in this series have fallen below the posted number and all signs once again point to a defensive affair considering the situation that each club finds itself in coming into this one. Play the under.
