The Montreal Canadiens receive a solid draw in their quest for the postseason as they get to host the Red Wings on Tuesday. Montreal has 79 points on the season, putting them percentage points back from Columbus for the 2nd wild card spot.
The Red Wings could use a loss on Tuesday to improve their draft lottery slot. Detroit has 58 points on the year, just 6 up from Ottawa for worst in the league.
Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings have just one regulation win in their last 11 games and it actually came as a -100 favorite last Thursday vs. the Rangers. Detroit has 3 OT losses over that span but for the most part they’ve been thoroughly dominated since the all-star break.

The Red Wings offense has been a major source of their issues for most of the year. Detroit ranks 26th in the league in both goals and shots on goal and has been held to 2 goals or less in 5 of 8.
Tuesday is shaping up to be a low scoring affair from the Detroit offensive perspective. Jimmy Howard has given up 6 goals in 2 of his last 4 starts however so the ‘under’ is no sure thing in this one.
Montreal Canadiens
Montreal needs a win to keep pace with the Blue Jackets for the 2nd wild card spot. The Canadiens haven’t helped their own cause much lately with losses in 3 of 4. Montreal has scored just 2 goals or fewer in 3 of 4 but they’ve given up 5+ in 3 of 4.

Carey Price will man the net Tuesday against Detroit. He needs a bounce back after giving up 8 goals on 29 shots to Anaheim in his last appearance. Price has surrendered just 2 or less in 3 of 5 so there’s at least a potential for success vs. the Red Wings offense.
