The Montréal Canadiens were an easy mark early in the season, but things have changed. The Canadiens have won 3 straight and 6 of their last 7. Their last 3 wins were against three of the top teams in the league: Vegas, Tampa, Florida, and all were on the road. Tonight, they will be in Chicago to take on the reeling Blackhawks. Chicago is a mess. They are just 12-24-2 on the season, have lost 5 straight, and 7 of their last 10. The Canadiens have won the last 4 meetings with the Blackhawks and after tonight it should be 5. The Habs are hot, ride them ’til they are not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MONTRÉAL CANADIENS
