The Vancouver Canucks and the Montreal Canadiens tangle tonight at Bell Centre. Both teams are sputtering, posting 2 game losing streaks. Montreal lost its first home game Saturday night to the hands of the Colorado Avalanche, 6-1. The thumping they took Saturday should give them some extra incentive to win this one for the home crowd. Vancouver is 1-4 in their current road trip and have not fared well in Montreal, going 1-5 in their last 6 games there. The Canadiens have the edge in offense, defense, power play, penalty kills, discipline and goaltending. I like the home team in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Montreal Canadiens
