We like the Vancouver Canucks to defeat the Montreal Canadiens on Monday at 7:37pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Vancouver hasn't had its best year, but still have five more points than Montreal does with one less game played.

The Canucks are 10-4 over their L14 games played against teams from the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference.

They've also beaten the Canadiens in five of their L6 meetings.

Montreal is just 5-10 over its L15 games played against teams from the Pacific Division in the Western Conference.

The Canadiens have also only won 16 of 39 games played as the betting underdog this season.

We like Vancouver to win this game and get back on track.
