Can't see how the Habs aren't favoured.
They have been as good or better than any team in the playoffs this year - swept Tampa, beat Boston. Home ice this time too.
Gotta be low scoring - 4 goals scored in their three meetings this year.
Goaltending is probably even. Edge to defense of Montreal, simply Subban. Even up front I guess too.
The only unknown is whether the Habs 'Stanley Cup' just ended. Could be a big letdown and definitely not the same motivation as against Boston - but shouldn't need any extra now anyway.
Habs in 6 or less.
