Game review
The Canadiens beat the Mammoth 5-4 on November 5, with the game decided in the third period and overtime after Utah carried a one-goal lead into the final frame. Montreal scored twice in the third to force overtime, then finished it in the extra period.
Nick Suzuki led Montreal with a goal and two assists, while Logan Cooley powered Utah with three goals and four points. Nick Schmaltz added two assists. Montreal controlled shots 35-20 and won 57.1 percent of faceoffs, but Utah stayed in it by converting three of five power plays at 60 percent. Utah also had more hits and takeaways, though Montreal’s shot volume and faceoff edge helped push the game past regulation.
For bettors, Montreal covered the 1.5-goal closing spread by 2.5, and the 6.5 closing total went over by 2.5.
