The Pittsburgh Penguins haven’t been good this season, and they’re on the end of a back to back, but they’re coming off a couple of nice wins, and they’re still the better team on paper here. The Montreal Canadiens continue to run hot and cold, and playing at home hasn’t helped them much, dating back to last season. Give me the Penguins and the PL for max betting value.
