Here's one of my picks for tonight.
Phoenix +109 vs Montreal
Coyotes never had much success in Montreal and they've had a shaky start this season under Gretzky. But they've settled down and are among the hottest teams with 3 straight wins and 5 of their last 6, including a tight one in Boston on sunday (2-1 in OT). They play for .500 on the road. Next game, at home vs TB on thursday.
Canadiens had a great start, unexpectedly. Here's a team that plays with heart around their leaders. But ever since Kovalev got hurt, the team has struggled. And now Koivu is out. Kovalev should be back saturday. Montreal has lost 5 of their last 6, including 2 at home to Buffalo in OT, and Anaheim on saturday. They'll be playing 7 of their next 8 games on the road.
