Key Matchup Edge

Montreal owns a +0.53 goal differential per game against +0.90 for Colorado. Colorado scores 4.05 and allows 3.15, while Montreal scores 3.53 and allows 3.00. Special teams and goaltending can flatten that gap in a one-goal game, which is why the puck line deserves separate evaluation.
