OT included. Not interested in a Montreal team spotting a big price upon returning home from a five-game trip that started in Detroit and ended in St. Louis with three games on the West Coast in between. The risks go even a little deeper than that. You see, the Canadiens are dealing with some injury issues, especially at center with Alex Galchenyuk and David Desharnais, who are out for the next six to eight weeks with knee injuries. Galchenyuk is the Habs’ leading scorer. Being undermanned at center is perhaps the biggest obstacle to overcome because everything is generated from that position. You now play a team like New Jersey that can thrive on this handicap because of its ability to make entering the zone difficult and you have the recipe for an upset.

The last four games that these two have played against one another have all been one-goal games with three of them going into extra time. All of those games were last year but this season, the Devils are improved and their even tougher to beat. Throw in the Canadiens significant injuries at center and the returning home from a trip angle and what we have is a live dog at a sweet price. We’ll bite.
