AAA's BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT (LAY IT & CASH IT!)
(NHL) Colorado vs. Montreal,
Money Line: -190.00 Montreal (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Montreal Canadiens.

We look for the 13-2 Habs to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. This sets up as a classic letdown spot for the Avs as well after winning the first two of their road trip, a 4-0 effort in Philadelphia on Tuesday before rallying for a 3-2 victory over Boston on Thursday. Colorado could be without the services of captain Gabriel Landeskog as well, who was ejected in the second period vs. the Bruins for an illegal hit to Boston forward Brad Marchand. Montreal is 7-0-1 at home this year and is 4-0-2 in its last six overall despite playing without starting goaltender Carey Price. Backup Mike Condon has posted a tiny 1.81 GAA in six starts in his absence and will be eager to atone for a 4-3 shootout loss in Pittsburgh on Wednesday: "(Condon) played great and gave us a chance," captain Max Pacioretty said afterwards. "He had another outstanding game and in the next game we have to play a little better in front of him." Note that Colorado is 3-6 (-2.9 units) in all non-conference games this season, while Montreal is 24-17 (4.4 units) in its last 41 when playing with two days of rest. Lay the price with confidence on the CANADIENS.
