I’m on the Canadiens here. I get the case to be made for the Devils at home because that’s where they’ve been hot despite recent inconsistencies. However, the Canadiens are red-hot right now, and it’s hard to step in front of them with how solid they’ve been at home this season and I think they get it done once again. Give me Montreal.
