The Rangers are reeling with five straight losses heading into this contest. They are playing the second game of a back-to-back and their fifth game in eight days here. Montreal comes in off a win over Columbus in their previous game and then had two days off to prepare for this contest. The Canadiens are just 3-6-1 on the road this season while the Rangers are a pedestrian 5-4-1 on home ice this season. New York likely picks up the win in this contest but it’s tough to back a team with five straight defeats. Take the Canadiens on the puck line here and you can sprinkle on the money line if you are so inclined as well.
