Bet: Red Wings ML (-120), Red Wings Habs Over 6.5 (-110), Red Wings Over 3.5 goals (+110)

This matchup has historically been very tight and gives a big advantage to the underdog as the Red Wings and Habs have decided eight of their last ten matchups by one score with Detroit recording seven wins in the process.

Montreal bounced back in the series with a 4-3 win on the road in Detroit on Friday and will look to win both legs of the home-and-home when facing off against the Red Wings once again at home.

The Habs have been heating up with five wins in their last eight games and have a 6-3-2 record in their last 11 home games. Detroit, on the other hand, has been a brutal with just two wins over their last eight road games and haven't been any better lately with three wins over their last ten games.

A lot of the signs point to the Habs taking this one but it'll be very hard to beat the same team twice as the Red Wings can look to make adjustments and find a way to bounce back in this one plus they are long overdue for a big win on the road.

They should hold a significant advantage in the goaltending department as Detroit can start Alex Lyon, who reps a goals against average at 2.88 while Montreal must start Cayden Primeau, who sits with a 4.69 average

You can count on the Red Wings offence getting involved in this one and the game quickly turning into a shootout as these two teams have combined for on average 8.50 goals over their last four matchups.
