ASA NHL PLAY ON 6* Montreal Canadiens Puck Line (+1.5 goals) over Tampa Bay Lightning, Monday at 8:05 PM ET - The Lightning are 12-6 in the playoffs but 5 of the dozen wins were by just a single goal. That means laying 1.5 goals with Tampa Bay in each game of this post-season would have netted only a 7-11 record. The Canadiens are on an 11-2 run and 1 of the 2 losses was in overtime. That means at +1.5 goals in the last 13 games, Montreal would have a 12-1 record. That is why we're reducing our star rating on this play and laying the price to have the benefit of having the +1.5 goals on the puck line. While Montreal certainly has a shot at the outright upset here, it is still tough to play against a Cup-winning TB team on their home ice. However, if the Canadiens do fall short, we are expecting this to be a very close game likely decided by a 1-goal margin. Grabbing the 1.5 goals (and laying about a -160 price in doing so) with road underdog Montreal is the value play here as we expect a huge game from the road team in this one and goalie Carey Price has been fantastic in the crease throughout this post-season.
