Troy Terry Carries Ducks Habs Matchup To Over in High-Scoring Affair

Monday has a condensed slate of NHL action that still should excite all hockey fans with some sensational matchups like the Blackhawks traveling to the Big Apple to take on the struggling New York Rangers in an Original Six matchup. It should be a great night of games and we look to improve on our recent hot streak with a 30-19 record on game total and team unders this season.

Bet: Ducks Habs Over 5.5 goals (-165), Troy Terry Over 0.5 points (-135)

The Ducks have dropped two straight games but when last on the road, they won three straight and will look to keep their winning streak alive against a Habs team that is looking to climb back to a .500 record with a 5-4-1 record over their last ten games. Anaheim holds the upper hand with a 5-2-1 record in their last eight meetings with Montreal but they have lost two straight with the Habs outscoring them nine to three. You can expect fireworks when these two clubs come together as they've combined for seven or more goals in six of their last 11 meetings.

The best play for this game would be hoping for no early action and live betting over six goals as they've combined for this total in nine of their last 14 matchups. We will list it as our main play for the game if you don't want to take a chance but you can likely wait for the first few minutes of the game to get a better odd.

We are long overdue for a big Troy Terry game as the Ducks winger has seven points over his last six games but with no goals as he hasn't scored in nine straight games. His scoring touch looks lost as he's scored once since Halloween or 16 games for those who are counting. He is due for a goal or two in this spot going against a Habs team that has the second-worst goals against average at 3.59 this season. We will list Terry to get a point if you want to play it safe but you can count on his point likely being a goal.
