The NHL Game 3 totals play is on the Over 5 goals in the Tampa Bay at Montreal game. Rotation numbers 11/12 at 8:10 eastern. The game applies to a solid long term playoff totals system that plays Over for for home dogs that are off back to back road losses and a prior home win, provided the total in this game is 5.5 or less. These games have averaged a whopping 7.3 goals per game. Montreal has played over in 3 of 4 at home off back to back losses and Tampa is 8 of 10 over on Fridays. This should be another up tempo pace here tonight. Montreal thoroughly outplayed Tamps in Game 2 with a big shot differential. Unfortunately for the Habs Tampa was able to win without spending much time in the offensive zone due to costly Montreal turnovers. While Montreal will continue to push the pace and create scoring chances, we look for more of an emphasis on offense from the Lightning here. With both teams playing at a frenetic pace, look for this game to play over the posted total. See the system below showing all 9 games that fit the Parameters playing over.
