The set-up: Montreal took Game 1, but since then it's been all Toronto. The Leafs are the better team in this series, but I don't expect the Habs to go down without a fight here. Montreal has the defense and goaltending to steal this one outright, but in a contest which I envision being decided late or even in extra time, I'm going to lay the small price for the 1.5 goals in my back pocket.

The pick: Note as well that Montreal is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a shutout loss of three or more goals to an opponent as well.

This is an 8* DESTRUCTION on the Montreal Canadiens.
