Detroit Red Wings vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction and Betting Tips (24.01.2025)

Match announcement

Detroit Red Wings

USA

Current form

Detroit dropped to 14th place in the conference, having 47 points after 47 games. The Wings intend to get to the playoffs this season, but to do so they need to win, which is not always possible for Todd McLellan team. The Red Wings changed their coach after another series of defeats and the situation began to change. The Reds won seven victories in eight starts and were close to the playoff zone, but now the visitors are on the decline. They have lost three games out of five, although the current road trip for the Red Wings began with a victory over Florida (5:2). The Michigan team was unable to show a strong attack in past games and were routed in Tampa (1:5) and Dallas (1:4), and then looked unhealthy in Pennsylvania (1:2, OT).

The visitors have been doing well in attack lately, although they remain one of the lowest scoring teams in the conference and have still scored only 132 goals. In the five previous games, Detroit has scored 11 times, which is a weak result. Lucas Raymond has found excellent form and has often distinguished himself in recent games. The Swedish forward has 51 points (19+32) and leads the club scorers.

Alex Lyon returned to the starting lineup for the hosts and has played in the last three games. It didn't help the team win, although the American didn't play too badly. During the current season, he has saved .909% of shots and made only one shutout in 19 starts. Cameron Talbot is always ready to take the ice and he can regain his status as the number one against the backdrop of the club weak results.

Disqualifications and injuries

All Detroit leaders will play against the Habs.

Interesting trends for betting

Todd McLellan charges began to perform a little better at the point and win the puck for their teammates more often.

Montreal Canadiens

Canada

Current form

Montreal is showing strong results and now occupies the eighth place in the East. The Canadians have earned 52 points in 47 games and are only one point behind sixth-place Tampa Bay. Martin St. Louis' men had a good stretch at the start of the new calendar year. They lost only two games in regulation time and after an unfortunate defeat to Toronto (3:7), they won a strong-willed victory over the Rangers (5:4, OT), and then dealt with Tampa (3:2). By the beginning of the second period, Nick Suzuki team was down two goals, but did not stop playing and snatched victory with just over two minutes left in regulation time.

The Habs have been strong on offense throughout January, scoring 18 goals in their last five games. Overall, the visitors have been lacking offensive presence up front, scoring only three goals per game. Montreal captain is his team leading scorer. Nick Suzuki has 47 points (14+33) and has no rivals among his teammates.

Samuel Montembeault has stopped 89.88% of shots and is allowing almost three goals per game on average. The Canadian goalie has no alternative, as Kaidan Primeau is allowing almost every fifth shot into his territory. In the first half of January, the Canadiens were weak in defense and allowed 17 goals in the last five games.

Disqualifications and injuries

Emil Heinemann and Corey Price won't be helping their partners in Michigan.

Interesting trends for betting

The Habs have shown a good level of offensive play since the very start of the season.

Tip and bets

2.02Montreal with a handicap (0)

Montreal is in good shape and is already among the eight best teams in the conference. The Habs need to continue to show strong results if the Canadian team wants to secure a place in the playoff zone. Detroit has had a good stretch since the arrival of the new head coach, but the Wings have completely failed on the road and have not shown their former game. Martin St. Louis' charges have already beaten the club from Michigan twice this season. We believe that the visitors will once again be stronger than their opponents. We offer a bet on the victory of the second with a handicap of zero.

Our prediction is Montreal victory with an Asian handicap (0) for 2.02

1.72Montreal IT over 2.5 goals

Bet on individual total

Montreal scores 3.09 goals per game and in the second half of January the Canadians have been making great use of their chances. In the last five games they have scored 18 accurate shots and constantly put pressure on the opponents' goalies. Detroit, on the other hand, has started to fail in defense and has conceded quite a few in the past games. We think that the visitors will beat the wing goalie at least three times.

Betting Tip - Montreal individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.72

Bet on total

Both teams are constantly aiming at the opponent goal and prefer not to sit back on their half of the court. Montreal must force the hosts to open up and from the first seconds the opponents will create scoring opportunities. In two games this season, the hockey players have scored 13 goals between them. We believe that in the upcoming confrontation we will see at least six goals.

Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.75
