Montreal +197 over NY Islanders

7:37 PM EST. OT included. The Canadiens are not going quietly into the night, as they continue to beat the drum for head coach Martin St. Louis down the stretch. St. Louis notably took up for his team after they were eliminated from the playoffs last week, and he did a tremendous job of creating an “us versus them” climate that has driven the Habs to a 4-4 run, which includes them clobbering the Flyers 9-3 on Tuesday night.

Montreal relished in the role of spoiler in that game, and they have the opportunity to put a dent in the Islanders' playoff prospects here tonight, as New York sits in third place in the Metropolitan Division, two points up on the Capitals, who currently hold the final Wild Card position (WC2), three points up on the Penguins and four points up on the Flyers. Each of those four teams has three games left, so nothing has been decided yet, and the Isles’ spot in the postseason might look solid today, but that could all change very quickly. Just ask the Flyers, who were solidly in third place in the middle of March but have not won a game in over three weeks.

Not only do the Habs have the chance to play spoiler tonight, but situationally speaking, they also catch the Islanders in a sandwich spot in-between games with the rival Rangers, whom the Isles beat 4-2 on Tuesday night. This game checks so many boxes and win, lose, or draw, the inflated price Montreal is taking back here is the icing on the cake. Overlay.
