Senators vs Canadiens prediction
Senators vs Canadiens Best bet: Nick Suzuki 1+ power-play points (+155)
Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki ranks fifth in the NHL in points (16) and has seven via the man advantage through 11 games.
Tonight, he faces an Ottawa Senators squad that boasts the second-worst penalty kill in the league and ranks 22nd in penalties taken.
Additionally, the Habs captain has three power-play points in his last four games.
Ottawa also allows the fourth-most goals in the league, while Montreal scores the fifth-most.
I expect Suzuki and company to do some serious damage tonight, with some likely coming via the man advantage.
Senators vs Canadiens same-game parlay
Mike Matheson has been a steady force on the Canadiens' blue line for several seasons. He averages a team-best 24:53 of ice time per game despite the addition of Noah Dobson and the ever-increasing responsibilities of Lane Hutson.
He's logged upwards of 25 minutes in five consecutive games and has blocked three or more shots in four of his last five.
The struggling Samuel Montembeault will get the start for the Habs tonight, marking his first appearance in over a week. He ranks near the bottom among starting goaltenders in virtually all important metrics.
Coupled with the red-hot Montreal offense encountering a poor Ottawa defense, I expect a flurry of goals. The Over has hit in four of the last five meetings between these teams, including in three of the previous four meetings last season.
