Canadiens Have Been a Good Bet at Home
Faithful Montreal Canadiens fans and bettors have been left frustrated during the 2015-16 season. While they are currently losers of four-straight games entering Tuesday’s schedule, they have been a decent wager in home games of late. They return to the Bell Centre after a horrendous road trip and host the Dallas Stars Tuesday night.
The Habs are currently sitting at EVEN odds in moneyline markets at online shop Sportsbook while the Stars are -130. The total is tabbed at 5.5 with OVER and UNDER both priced at -115.
Yes, the Canadiens will be happy to see the familiar confines in Montreal after going 0-4 SU in their recent road trip. That trip saw losses to all three California teams and concluded with a 4-2 defeat at the Winnipeg Jets Saturday. The Habs have gone 5-1 SU in their last six games on home ice with that one loss coming in a 2-1 shootout defeat at the hands of the Nashville Predators back on February 22.
The Stars have rebounded nicely after losing four-straight and seven of eight to post back-to-back wins entering Tuesday’s meeting. They recorded a 2-1 victory versus the Ottawa Senators Sunday and have gone 8-5-1 versus the Atlantic Division season to date. Despite going 3-5-2 in their last 10 games, the Stars are still right in the thick of it in the highly-competitive Central Division. Dallas certainly has more to play for and will have to keep up with the Chicago Blackhawks and red-hot St. Louis Blues.
