The Detroit Red Wings have surprised gamblers with their ability to stay in the Eastern Conference playoff race despite the fact that their roster has been wiped out with injuries and such key components as Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk are out of action. Gamblers who were looking to load up against Detroit were burned by their plucky play as an underdog as head coach Mike Babcock has been resourceful in keeping Detroit’s drive for a 23rd consecutive playoff spot alive. The Montreal Canadiens have been playing their best hockey of the season and are developing into a solid defensive team with the goaltending of Canadian Olympic hero Carey Price which makes them a dangerous threat come playoff time. The Montreal Canadiens will host the Detroit Red Wings on CBC and NHLN US Saturday night with coverage starting at 7 PM ET.
Detroit in the Red Wings on Road
The Detroit Red Wings have not been a good NHL betting value on the road with a mark of just 5 wins in their last 15 away games as 12 out of their last 20 away games have gone under the total.
Barely Above Water at Home
The Montreal Canadiens have won 11 out of their last 20 home games with just 5 out of those 20 home games have gone over the total.
The Pick
The Detroit Red Wings have dominated their head to head series with the Chicago Blackhawks as the Wings have come away with the cash in 14 out of their last 20 games against the Canadiens with just 2 out of the last 11 games between the Red Wings and Canadiens going over the total. The Detroit Red Wings have won 8 out of their last 12 games at the Montreal Canadiens with just 1 out of the last 6 games at Montreal between the Red Wings and Canadiens going over the total. Detroit simply has too many key injuries to ride the trends here and Montreal has been a decent play at home. We’ll call for the Montreal Canadiens and under the total in this Atlantic Division matchup!
