There's still a little life in this Ottawa Senators team as it denied the Montreal Canadiens the sweep with a 1-0 home win Wednesday. Tonight the teams will take the ice at the Bell Centre, and I think the Canadiens are well worth the money to close out this series with a win in front of their home fans.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. The Sens Goaltending - Craig Anderson shut out the Habs Wednesday and is likely to get the nod in the Sens goal tonight. I doubt we'll see another shutout from the 33 year old veteran tonight though, he was 5-8-5 with a 2.55 GAA over 18 road starts during the regular season and will be up against a Habs offense that averaged 2.95 goals per game in Montreal compared with 2.27 on the road over the regular season.
2. Home Cookin' - The Sens have picked up the win in only one of their last five visits to Bell Centre. The Canadiens are 4-1 in their last five home games versus a team with a losing road record and 6-2 in their last eight home games overall.
3. X-Factor - Montreal's star netminder Carey Price has compiled a.959 SV% over the last three games in the series.
Selection: This is a play on the Montreal Canadiens(8*)
