Montreal suffered their first regulation defeat of the season as they were blanked by Calgary in their last game Saturday night. After getting shutout I expect Montreal to bounce back here vs Vanc on Monday night.

The Canadiens entered Sunday tied for second in the North Division with Vancouver, three points behind Toronto for the division lead. Montreal is leading the league in offensive production with 4.13 goals per game on the season. The Canadiens are tied for 11th in goals against as they allow an average of 2.63 goals per contest. Montreal is 12th in power play success by cashing in 25.8% of their chances with the man advantage on the year. The Canadiens are 15th in penalty killing by successfully getting through 79% of their shorthanded situations this season. Take MONTREAL tonight.
