This is a 10* on WINNIPEG

We think it’s time for Montreal to stop winning. The only team that made the playoffs with a negative regular season goal differential has come “back from the dead,” winning its last five games. They were down 3-1 in the first round series against Toronto and haven’t lost since! They are now up 2-0 on the Jets after taking both games in Winnipeg. After winning a high-scoring affair in Game 1, 5-3, the Habs got Carey Price’s eighth career playoff shutout in Game 2, 1-0. Price made 30 saves and the only goal in the game came with Montreal actually playing short-handed. Winnipeg has to be kicking itself right now. Butu all is not lost yet. This is a team that won three overtime games in the first round sweep over Edmonton. Once they came back from a three goal deficit. It would be foolish to write them off. We think they are the better team and, again, can’t see Montreal continue to win. Yes, they are hot. During the five game win streak, they have not trailed. You’d have to go back to 2012 to find the last time a team pulled that off in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Jets are 6-0 their last six as underdogs. This is the first time Montreal has been favored in these playoffs. Play on WINNIPEG
