This is a 10* on OVER

An 'Original Six' rivalry is renewed tonight in Montreal where the Canadiens host the Bruins. The visitors are playing as well as any team in the league currently. They have 35 points (t2nd) and lead the Atlantic Division. Boston's +23 goal differential is best in the league. But not all news is good coming out of Beantown. Center Patrice Bergeron won't be making the trip because of a lower-body injury. The Bruins also gave up four goals in their last game, but were fortunate enough to still win in overtime (5-4 at Minnesota). Montreal is also coming off a high-scoring game, but theirs was a 6-5 loss to the Rangers. They blew a 4-0 lead in that one despite outshooting the Rangers 43-34. With both teams off such high-scoring affairs, our call for tonight is on the Over. You've got two teams averaging 3.5 goals/game. Boston has at least four goals in four of its last six. The Over is 4-1 the last five games for Montreal with them scoring 5 two different times. Looking at the goalies, Boston is going with their backup tonight (Jaroslav Halak) while Carey Price has really struggled for the Canadiens of late. Play OVER Boston-Montreal
