Florida -1.5 +210 over Montreal

5:07 PM ET. Regulation only. The Canadiens have been sharp — four wins in five games, including that overtime comeback in Florida on December 30 — but the market has clearly leaned too far into that narrative. When a team like Florida, with Stanley Cup aspirations and elite five-on-five metrics, is being offered at +210 on the puck line, the message is simple: this game is not expected to be close if the Panthers show up properly.

Let’s talk context. Florida’s loss in Toronto looked ugly on the scoreboard, but the underlying effort wasn’t nearly as bad as the final suggests. They outshot the Leafs badly in the third period and spent long stretches dictating play after a slow start — exactly the kind of loss that produces sharp bounce-back performances. Paul Maurice called it out publicly, which usually means the response is coming. Even with injuries mounting, this roster still drives play, still tilts the ice, and still creates separation when they get structure back. The Panthers don’t need overtime luck; they win by margin when things click.

Montreal, meanwhile, is being priced like a team that has turned a corner — but the margins remain thin. That win over Calgary looked comfortable, yet this is still a Canadiens group that relies heavily on momentum swings and goaltending variance to close games. Florida already gave them life once by letting them hang around late — that’s unlikely to be repeated. Elite teams tend to correct those mistakes quickly, and revenge spots with value like this don’t come often.
