Montreal is 1-5 in their last 6 road games and 2-5 in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 6-1-2 in their last 9 games against a team with a losing record. Calgary is 3-8 in their last 11 games overall and 9-3 in their last 12 games as a home favorite while the over is 5-0-2 in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record. Montreal is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two teams.

I think a case could be made for both sides here, as Montreal is fresh off of their dominant win over Vancouver and have a lot of momentum, but Calgary’s rested and ready to go in this one. Instead, I’m going to side with the over here as I think Montreal’s momentum does carry over but I also think tied legs lead to goals from the Flames as well in this one.
