Montreal was eliminated from playoff contention a few weeks back and it continues to ride out the string with just three wins in its last 13 games. This includes a 5-3 road loss to the Penguins on March 21 as a +222 underdog. With just one win in their last eight road games, it would be hard to see a different result just 10 days later given how poorly this team has been playing recently.

The Penguins are close to clinching a playoff berth with 94 total points, but they have been struggling with consistency since early March with a loss following a win over their last 11 games. Pittsburgh did beat New Jersey 4-3 on Thursday night as a -124 road favorite to set up the perfect opportunity to post back-to-back victories for the first time since its three-game winning streak to start the month.
