Point Spread: 1.50 | -140.00 Montreal (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* on MONTREAL +1.5 (PUCK LINE)
Turns out we were wrong to count out the Canadiens in Game 4 as they stayed alive by winning in overtime, 3-2. We all know the trend with Tampa Bay -- they are 14-0 SU the last two postseasons after a loss. Plus they are now back at home, so it’s no shock that they are heavily favored to end the series tonight. But we’ll grab the +1.5 with the Habs on the puck line as this one shouldn’t get out of hand. They outshot TB in two of the four games and in the series. What’s interesting is they were outshot in Game 4 34-21. But the two previous games saw them end up with a +25 edge in shots on goal. It was nice to see goalie Carey Price have a bounce back game Monday night. You’ve gotta figure he’ll be on the top of his game again tonight. Price still owns a .922 save percentage in the playoffs. The Lightning were an uncharacteristic 0 for 6 on the power play in the last game, but we don’t see Montreal giving them so many chances again. Line changes worked for Montreal in Game 4, so expect the same lineup. Even though everyone is counting them out, don’t be surprised if the Habs win again tonight. We don’t foresee an outcome worse than a one-goal defeat here. Play MONTREAL +1.5 (PUCK LINE)
