Canucks vs Canadiens Prediction

I’m on the Canadiens here. I just have a hard time getting on board with the Canucks at home, as they haven’t been the most effective home team this season. Montreal’s been a solid value team for much of the year, and I think that the Canadiens can pick up the win on the road in this game. Give me Montreal in this one on the moneyline.
