The set-up: Montreal won't be lacking for motivation here after going just 2-7-1 in its last ten. The Oilers are 5-4-1 in their last ten. The Oilers average 2.83 GPG and it's defense has been shaky. The Habs are ranked 24th on the defensive end, but after two straight losses I believe they offer great value here to bounce back in front of the home town crowd. Overall the Habs average a respectable 3.24 GPG at home.

The pick: Edmonton though has definitely struggled mightily in this spot for bettors all season, going a poor 9-15 (-7.7 units) vs. clubs with losing records and 2-4 (-2.3 units) after playing three straight road games. The Habs on the other hand are 9-6 (+3.5 units) this year in non-conference games. I think the "hungrier" team gets the job done tonight. Lay the reasonable price.

10* ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION on the Montreal Canadiens.
