Teams: Montreal Canadiens vs Pittsburgh Penguins
Date & Time: Monday, 7pm ET
Montreal Canadiens vs Pittsburgh Penguins Live Odds and Picks @ Sportsbook.
The Montreal Canadiens forced a game 7 in their first round series against Washington by winning the game 6 of that series from the Bell Centre. That is exactly the situation the Habs will find themselves in tonight when the puck drops at 7pm ET.
The Canadiens were unable to score against the Penguins in game 5 until very late in the game and only managed one goal in the contest. They received the kind of goaltending effort that they needed in order to stand a chance against Pittsburgh and so Habs backers have to be very disappointed that they were not able to come away with a win.
Montreal at 2.56 (+156) to win straight up and you really have to like the value with those odds. Neither team has won back to back games in this series yet as it has gone back and forth throughout.
While Montreal are not a great home team they have done a fantastic job of shutting down Sidney Crosby and that is why Montreal are still in this series. Pittsburgh will need either him to steal the show offensively or Fleury to stand on his head in net in order to knock Montreal out tonight and this series looks as though it could go 7.

Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers NHL Odds, Picks & Previews
Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Picks & Previews @ Sportsbook.
We were all over the Philadelphia Flyers during their first round series against the Buffalo Sabres and cashed several tickets on the individual games as well as the series. We had initially pegged the Flyers as a team that was peaking at the right time of the season, but its starting to look more and more like they lucked into a perfect first round matchup. Despite two single goal losses in the first two games Boston just looks like they’re in control of this series.
Going against the home team in Game 3 is a good value for the simple reason that we’re going against the team in the ‘must win’ situation. In most sports with 7 game series, Game 3 is a good spot for the home team but the NHL is an exception. In this round of the NHL playoffs the team with the 2-0 lead is a 62%+ winning proposition. The Bruins have had their way with the Flyers both recently and historically. Boston has won 9 of the L14 meetings and 5 of the last 6 in Philly. Going back even further, the Bruins have won 16 of the last 26 meetings in Philadelphia. Savard’s return has been a huge boost to the Bruins offensively, and despite Brian Boucher’s solid play in the opening round he’s severely outclassed here by Boston’s Tuukka Rask.

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.
