*6* SURE SHOT on Montreal Canadiens.

The Vancouver Canucks will be on the road in Montreal on Monday night, and they've really played poorly losing five of their last six overall. The Habs are sitting in second place in the East, just two points behind New York. They are coming off their first home loss of the season in a 6-1 defeat to Colorado on Saturday. I like Montreal to get right back on track tonight at the Bell Centre.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Canucks have lost five of their last six visits to the Bell Centre, and they have lost four of their last five road games. They've also struggled against Eastern Conference teams, losing five of their last six non conference games.

2. Montreal's Offense - Only the Dallas Stars have scored more goals this season than the Habs, and they get a crack at Vancouver's struggling netminder tonight. Ryan Miller is 0-4-1 with a 3.46 GAA in his last five starts.

3. X-Factor - The home team is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the Montreal Canadiens (6*)
