The Montreal Canadiens will try ad bounce back from a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1. Tampa Bay had a one-goal lead heading into the third but the Lightning poured it on scoring three times in the third. Andrei Vasilevskiy wasn't tested much in the net, stopping 18 of 19 shots in picking up the win. Carey Price gave up five goals on 27 shots in which was his worst game in the playoffs. Montreal is 11-3 in their last 14 games overall and 9-3 in their last 12 games as an underdog. Tampa Bay is 93-43 in their last 136 games overall and 49-19 in their last 68 home games.

Nikita Kucherov has been unstoppable in his return from injury and 30 points in the playoffs up to this point. Tampa Bay has never lost Game 2 in any of its previous three appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. They are 7-0 in their last seven games against Montreal at home. In four of those seven wins came by 2 or more goals. I like TB to win another easy one here as they have too much firepower for the Habs to handle.

Play on TB minus 1.5 goals.
