These teams don't know each other very well, having only played 13 times over the past ten years and once over the past three seasons. They last met in January of this year, a game in which the two total goals were scored. Detroit can score, but they can also play defense. Montreal is averaging just 2 goals per game over their last six games, having been shut out twice. Detroit is 48-30 UNDER the past three seasons vs. teams that allow 30+ shots on goal per game. They are also 11-2 UNDER in their last thirteen on the road following 3+ straight home wins. We expect a relatively flat Detroit team here and defense to prevail.
