NHL Wagering Online – Penguins at Canadians

NHL Wagering Online – Penguins at Canadians.  The Montreal Canadians will try and keep the Pittsburgh Penguins down on Wednesday in NHL wagering online.The Penguins have played poorly lately without captain Sidney Crosby and he is out again on Wednesday.  His absence means that most gamblers making an NHL bet at Sbg global.com will take Montreal in this game.

Crosby Still Out
The Penguins are simply not the same team without Crosby in the lineup.  Crosby is dealing with symptoms from a concussion that he probably got in the Winter Classic. The Penguins let him finish that game and play in the next one against Tampa Bay but since then he has been out. The Penguins seem to have screwed up the diagnosis of Crosby’s concussion and they are now getting some heat about letting him finish the game against Washington New Year’s Day and the following one against Tampa Bay.  Almost everyone who saw the Winter Classic believes that Crosby suffered a concussion in that game.  Whether he suffered the concussion in the game against Washington or Tampa Bay is unknown but what we do know is that the Penguins are playing poorly without him.  The Penguins have lost their last three games and scored a total of three goals. It is hard to like them on t he road without Crosby in this game at Montreal on Wednesday.

Back-to-Back for Montreal
The only thing that makes you stop a little bit before jumping in head first and taking the Canadians is that they had to play in New York last night against the Rangers.  Playing back-to-back is never easy and always a cause for concern.  The Canadians are solid at home though at 14-8 and they will be favored.
