The Montreal Canadiens are on a 3-game slide but they should be able to get back on track tonight when they visit the league’s worst team, the Colorado Avalanche. Colorado is 14-33-2 on the season, with a home record of 6-18-1, and were throttled by the Habs on December 10th, 10-1. Montreal is expected to have Carey Price between the pipes tonight and he is 23-12-5, with a GAA of 2.35 and a .922 SV%. Colorado will likely counter with Calvin Pickard, who is 8-14-1, with a GAA of 3.05 and a .903 SV%. Montreal has had issues in Colorado, going 2-7 in their last 9 games at Pepsi Center, but they should get this one.
Tonight’s pick:
