Command Analysis

Montreal Canadiens

Current form
Montreal is in the eighth position of the Eastern Conference and can feel fully comfortable. The team is six points ahead of its closest pursuer, Detroit, and now it just needs to avoid a long series of defeats before the end of the regular season in order to participate in the Stanley Cup.
We emphasize that in recent matches, the tricolours have shown themselves to be exceptionally good and have given out a series of five victories. It should be noted that they defeated Florida twice (4:2 and 3:2 OT), then proved their superiority over Boston (4:1) and Philadelphia (3:2) on their ice, and in the final confrontation on the road they defeated Nashville with a score of 2:1 in a stubborn struggle. Oddly enough In all cases, the club remained with the minimum number of goals conceded and did not allow opponents to score more than twice.
In attack, Nick Suzuki is still at his best, taking great advantage of his own moments and finding good partners with assists, thanks to which he currently has 84 points in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Price, Duck, Savar and Heineman will miss the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Montreal wins 50.9% of face-offs
- Montreal has a 77:81 ratio in goals scored and conceded in the second period.

Detroit Red Wings

Current form
Detroit may again be left out of the playoffs this season, although it has done a lot for this. The team is having one of its best seasons in recent years, but instability has plagued it for the past six months. She gives out great winning streaks from time to time, after which she herself is in bad shape and is inferior even to those opponents against whom she must earn two points.
Nevertheless, in the previous three out of four meetings, the Red Wings celebrated success. They beat Boston (2:1) in the fight, and after an unsuccessful match with St. Louis (1:2 OT) they returned to their ice, where they proved their superiority over strong opponents in the face of Carolina (5:3) and Florida (2:1). At the same time, in many meetings, the wings showed a meaningful defensive game and did not concede more than one or two goals. In the last match, it is worth noting the actions of the goalkeeper, Cam Talbo, who then parried a total of 32 shots.
However, Todd McLellan's team is performing rather mediocre on foreign venues this season, because they have managed to score only ten victories within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kopp and Mazur will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.

2.55Tip and bets
In our opinion, Montreal looks preferable to its counterpart in this confrontation. At the moment, the Canadians are in great shape and are on a long winning streak. In addition, Detroit has shown modest results on the road this season and usually does not achieve success in matches with opponents in the playoff zone. We think that this time the tricolor ones will be better.
Prediction - Montreal's victory in 2.25
Betting on an individual total
Montreal has recently been distinguished by a reliable defensive game and has conceded no more than one or two goals. Detroit is showing pretty poor performance on the road and in most cases is limited to two goals scored. By the way, in the last match at the Bell Center, held this season, the Red Wings also scored only one goal.
We're betting on Detroit's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on the total total
Past meetings with the participation of Canadians turned out to be grassroots and often took place with less than six goals scored. Detroit has also become more reliable on defense, and Talbo has been doing a decent job lately. It is likely that in the upcoming confrontation we will not witness a large number of abandoned pucks.
We take a total of less than six goals for 1.70
