Boston is just 7-20 in their last 27 games in Montreal and 1-5 in their last 6 against the Canadiens but Boston is 6-1 in their last 7 as a favorite and 6-0 in their last 6 road games. The Bruins have been nearly unstoppable on the road and I am picking them to be too much for Montreal on Tuesday night.
