The Montreal Canadiens stole home-ice advantage with a 5-3 win in game 1. They would love to head back to Montreal with a 2-0 series lead. Carey Price got the win for Montreal stopping 27 of 30 shots while Connor Hellebuyck allowed 4 goals on 32 shots he faced. Montreal is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall and 5-2 in their last 7 games following a win. Winnipeg is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. Winnipeg was coming off a long rest and looked a little off. There will be a lot of emotion in this game and even more after the Evans hit. I see Montreal taking a couple of penalties to set the tone and that could give Winnipeg an early edge. I like the Jets on home ice to even the series.

Play on Winnipeg.
