The San Jose Sharks and the Montreal Canadiens meet in NHL action from the Bell Centre on Tuesday night.

The San Jose Sharks will try to snap a three-game losing skid after a 4-3 OT loss to Vancouver last time out. Erik Karlsson has a team-high 32 points with 11 goals and a team-high 21 assists while Timo Meier has 22 points with a team-high 12 goals and 10 assists and Tomas Hertl has 21 points with 5 goals and 16 assists this season. Logan Couture also has 20 points with 12 goals and 8 assists this season. James Reimer has gone 5-8-2 with a 3.00 GAA and a .903 save percentage while Kaapo Kahkonen is 2-5-2 with a 3.81 GAA and an .871 save percentage in goal for the Sharks this season.

The Montreal Canadiens will look to build on their 3-2 shootout win over Chicago in their last game. Nick Suzuki has a team-high 24 points with 12 goals and 12 assists while Cole Caufield also has 21 points with 12 goals of his own and Kirby Dach has 17 points with 13 assists of his own on the year. Jake Allen is 6-7 with a 3.61 GAA and an .891 save percentage while Sam Montembault is 5-2-1 with a 2.48 GAA and a .924 save percentage between the pipes for Montreal this season.

San Jose is 8-22 in their last 30 road games and 17-46 in their last 63 games overall while the over is 4-0-1 in their last 5 Tuesday games. Montreal is 5-15 in their last 20 games against the Pacific division and 34-74 in their last 108 games overall while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.

I get the reasoning for backing San Jose here as the Sharks have actually been decent on the road this season. However, the Canadiens have been better overall lately and tend to do their better work at home and side-by-side, I just feel more comfortable backing Montreal. Give me the Canadiens here.
