The set-up: Montreal's been consistently inconsistent over the last month, and after it's big bounce back 5-1 win in Vancouver just last night, I think a very predictable letdown is in the cards here for the visiting side.

The pick: The Flames offer great value in this spot. The Flames always play better at home than on the road and after back-to-back losses, there's no question that they're the hungrier team in this fight. Home ice advantage is a very real factor here in my opinon and one which the oddsmaker have not properly taken into account. I'm banking on a blowout from start to finish.

This is a 10* SITUATIONAL UPPER-SHELF SLAP-SHOT on the Flames.
