Montreal is at the bottom of the league in allowing the most goals per game and 28th in allowing the most shots on goal. Their defense is bad along with their goaltending. They are not as efficient on the penalty kill at 65%, so they are susceptible to allowing a power play goal, but they are averaging 3 plus goals per game. Montreal is 4-0 to the Over on the road this season. Pittsburgh is also near the bottom of the league in allowing shots on goals and most goals allowed versus the rest of the league. They also are not playing good defense right now and they have always had inconsistent goaltending ever since they lost Fleury to another team. The Penguins are averaging 4 plus goals per game and these two teams are 7-3-1 to the Over in their last 10 meetings. These two teams have bad defense and questionable goaltending so this game will see lots of goals.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
