The Montreal Canadiens will be eager to play in front of the home fans and desperate for a win after closing out 2017 with seven straight games on the road and four consecutive losses. The San Jose Sharks had a three-game winning streak come to an end when they were shut out in a 6-0 loss at Dallas on New Year's Eve. The Sharks are just 1-5 in their last six road games and the home team is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings with the Habs.

My selection is an 8* play on Montreal Canadiens.
