The Montreal Canadiens go for the top spot in the Atlantic Division and their ninth win in a row when they host the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Montreal Canadiens are one of the hottest teams in the NHL and now they go for their eighth straight win on Sunday in the second game of this home-and-home series against the New Jersey Devils. The Canadiens are 9-1 in their last 10 games and they are second in the Atlantic Division standings. Montreal is only two points behind the division-leading Tampa Bay Lightning. The Devils, meanwhile, are fighting for their playoff lives. While they haven\u2019t been eliminated yet, it is getting late. New Jersey will likely need to win out to have any shot at reaching the postseason and currently sit seven points back of the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference with 81 points. At least New Jersey picked up a point on Saturday when they lost to the Canadiens 4-3 in a shootout. Now, this series will shift to Montreal on Sunday with it tied 1-1 heading into the finale.<\/p>\n
