Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Montreal Canadiens Betting Analysis

Montreal as an underdog is never a bad look, especially at home where the Habs have won seven straight in that role. Also as an underdog, Montreal has covered the puck line in a remarkable 28 straight games. The standout stat, one that should worry Tampa bettors or fans, is the Habs winning four of five meetings outright. Tampa has also won just three total games since April 6, losing six in that span. A saving grace trend for Tampa is that the Bolts have won the 1P in five of seven games in Montreal, which they are +180 to do on Sunday.

In the player prop market, Juraj Slafkovsky has been lighting up the net, and hit for us in Game 1 during his hat trick performance.
