Tip and bets
At home, Detroit can put up a fight, but on road trips they hardly even earn points. In nine away games, the Red Wings got only two victories, both against crisis-striken opponents. We can't say that Montreal are in good team form, 10 of their players are out injured, but we believe they should capitalize on home advantage and collect points in this match.
Our prediction - Montreal to not lose
Neither side can boast of high offensive performance, and in head-to-head games, the opponents often chose to play a very defensive brand of hockey. We recommend taking the under here.
Second bet - total under 6 goals
