ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON Winnipeg Jets Money Line +105 over Montreal Canadiens at 7 PM ET - The Canadiens are in the 2nd night of a back to back. Montreal has only won once the last four times they have played the 2nd game of a back to back and that lone win came in the shootout. Making this situation even tougher on the Canadiens is the fact that their top goalie, Carey Price is dealing with an upper body injury. He did not even travel with the team to Toronto for last night's game. Though there is a chance could play tonight, he would not be 100 percent if he does. The only other options for Montreal include Cayden Primeau or Charlie Lindgren or simply starting Jake Allen again but playing back to back nights is tough on a netminder and Allen started against the Maple Leafs last night. On top of all this, though the Jets recently lost Blake Wheeler his +/- on the season is -15 and he is not nearly the loss to Winnipeg that Brendan Gallagher's absence is to the Canadiens. Gallagher is a key winger for Montreal and has a +/- of +11 on the season and he is out with a broken thumb. If Allen gets the start in goal for the Canadiens here, it is worth noting he has won only 1 of his 5 home decisions this season. As for Winnipeg, they are starting Connor Hellebuyck between the pipes and he is one of the top goalies in hockey. Also, the Jets have won each of their last 4 road games that he has started and they won those by a combined 17 to 4 score. Another dominating win expected here. While the Canadiens are in a tough back to back, the Jets are very well rested as their most recent game was Monday and that match-up followed having Saturday and Sunday off too. Winnipeg lost their most recent meeting here in Montreal in ugly fashion as it was a 7-1 defeat despite outshooting the Canadiens. This is now the ideal set-up for big-time payback from the Jets and they will take full advantage of the situation and should roll big in this game! Take the JETS
