NHL Playoff Betting Odds: Canadiens vs Penguins

It’s been quite an interesting hockey betting series so far between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Montreal Canadiens. The series is tied at 1, and Sports Betting believes that game 3 tonight will be a very exciting NHL betting outcome as well.

Montreal won a close game 2 with a 3-1 win, making NHL odds bettors who took the under very happy. The Penguins got no production from Sydney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin and so the result was not good. As for Montreal, they’re making NHL prop betting experts very happy, especially when Mike Cammalleri steps up ad performs like he did in game 2 (two goals).

Sports Betting has the Penguins favored at -170 on the moneyline, with Montreal a moneyline underdog at +150. The NHL total betting line is set at 5.5. We believe this will be a close game. While the Pens have a winning NHL betting record on the road in the postseason, Montreal is 1-2 at home in the postseason so far. However, they did win their last home game.


Montreal has lost their best defenseman Andre Markov indefinitely, but rookie P.K. Subban has stepped in admirably thus far, having been called up recently. He logged over 23 minutes last game and has three points in four games so far.

Also on the injury front, Pittsburgh is missing Jordan Staal indefinitely. He is a key penalty killer and face-off man, and hockey wagering analysts think his loss has hurt the Pens more than most believe.

We recommend to bet on the Canadiens on the moneyline and to take under 5.5 total. The odds are that if Montreal wins this game, it will be with a lot of shot-blocking and defense, and that means a low total.

One x-factor here is the crowd. Montreal’s crowd is always full, but they have had games of being raucous for 10 minutes then silent, and they have had games of being electric for 60 minutes. If Pittsburgh can take the crowd out early with the opening goal, it could be a long game for the Canadiens. However, if the crowd feeds of Montreal scoring first, then betting on the CanIt’s been quite an interesting hockey betting series so far between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Montreal Canadiens.
