- 6 of the previous 7 meetings this year have produced under 5.5 goals
- The Under has hit in 9 of Tampa Bay’s previous 12 games
- Montreal Canadiens are 5-2 in the previous 7 meetings

Verdict
The Under continues to deliver in this series, and with the stakes higher than ever that trend is likely to continue.
We also lean towards hosts Montreal – they again responded immediately to a loss and they do boast a strong recent record against the Lightning.
