AAA's BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT (8-1-1 +$5,240 L10 NHL!)
(NHL) Ottawa vs. Montreal,
Money Line: -186.00 Montreal (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 6* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Montreal Canadiens.

For a number of different reasons I look for the Habs to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. These teams have played three times and Ottawa has taken the last two straight; suffice it to say, the double revenge factor definitely comes into play here. Montreal will be eager to return to form as well after a 1-2-2 slide, most recently getting shut out for the second time over that stretch in Tuesday's 1-0 setback to Tampa Bay; a bright spot continues to be the play of goaltender Carey Price who had 35 saves in the setback to the Bolts. Price has posted a fantastic 1.76 GAA despite dropping three of four starts this month. The Sens are coming off a 3-1 loss to Boston on Tuesday after winning eight of its previous nine and I believe will have another letdown here, note that Price is 11-1-4 with a 2.02 GAA in his last 16 regular season starts vs. Ottawa (and note that Price does in fact lead the league with a 1.87 GAA, a .937 save percentage and 37 total wins). I think the writing is on the wall and a blowout is in the cards, lay the price with confidence on the revenge minded CANADIENS.
