Montreal is 13-11-4 at home this season, 24-32 ATS, and the under is 29-24.

Toronto is 17-7-4 on the road this season, 22-34 ATS, and the under is 28-24.

Montreal has now won two straight on the brink of elimination and have proven they will not go out quietly. Toronto forced overtime late in the third for the second straight game, but the Canadiens found a way in extra time. The Maple Leafs have outshot Montreal in the last two games, so the effort has been there. Despite their inability to defend home ice to this point, Toronto still opens this as the heavy favorite. Montreal has seemingly been in control for the greater part of the last two games, and I don’t see a change of venue disrupting that trend. At -150 give me the Canadiens on the puck line in what should be another close game.
