This is a 7* play on MONTREAL

Not sure how "good" the spot is tonight for Montreal, but it is most definitely a "bad" spot for their opponent. Arizona arrives in Quebec having played last night and Sunday up in the Great White North. Three road games in four nights, right before the All-Star Break, is hardly ideal. Even if the Coyotes did win each of those last two games, one of them as a huge underdog (closed +240 on the money line at Toronto). Last night saw the 'Yotes win in Ottawa, but it wasn't as easy as they'd hoped as they had to hold on for a 3-2 final. While travel may be weighing on Arizona, Montreal has been off for the last three days. They will be looking to rebound from an embarrassing defeat here at home vs. Philadelphia on Saturday. That game saw them give up five goals, the most they have surrendered in any game in January. Given the much different situations the teams are facing here (in terms of the schedule), this should be an easy win for the Canadiens. Play on MONTREAL
