5* NHL Iceman Game of the Week
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Montreal, 01/18/2017 2:30 PM, Score: 4 - 1
Money Line: -110.00 Montreal (Home)
Result: Loss
Pittsburgh is off one of the craziest wins I've seen in ages. The Pens rallied from a 3-0 deficit, then blew 5-3 and 7-5 leads before getting the overtime win against the Capitals on Monday night. That game was absolutely insane, and wheeling back on the road 48 hours later doesn't figure to be easy. On the flip side, Montreal should be pretty geared up for this game as they were giving the day off yesterday and are a very good defensive team. They came out on the short end of an overtime thriller the last time they faced Pittsburgh. In that game, the Habs were up one goal before the Penguins tied it with less than one minute to play in regulation. In the overtime, Montreal got tagged for having too many men on the ice when they botched a change while trying to prevent a 2-on-1 break and Pittsburgh skated away with the win on a power play goal. Montreal is very good at home sitting at 16-4 on their ice while Pitt is 1 game under .500 at 8-9 on the road. I'll play the Canadians here at home on Wednesday evening.
