CANADIENS at RANGERS
Take: CANADIENS +100
I have a series play on Montreal, so it’s kind of pointless for me to play this game individually. A win by the Canadiens would give them a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, and that’s sure good enough for me.
But as for this game, I see the Habs will a great chance to lock up a third straight win after dropping the opener on home ice. I have no idea why the Rangers have been better on the road than at home all season, but the fact is this is a .500 entry at Madison Square Garden, and that’s not as good as Montreal has been on the road.
Beyond the win-loss ledgers, it looks to me like Montreal is simply outplaying the Rangers. New York is having a very tough time generating consistent offense and when they do the Montreal goalie wall known as Carey Price has been there to thwart them.
Maybe the Rangers find a way to crank up the attack here and get back to even in the series. But while momentum can be mighty fickle, it’s clearly with the Montreal side right now and I believe that trend will continue this evening. I’d look to back the Canadiens at roughly even money in Game Four.
