The Montreal Canadiens may be at the top of the Atlantic division, but having lost their last three games in a row, tonight’s game against the Detroit Red Wings may prove more difficult than when the teams last met in October. Fatigue may be an issue after the Habs lost last night to Boston. Montreal are 9-3-1 on the road.
Meanwhile Detroit have won three of their last five games and have recently found a level of performance that’s seen the team close the gap on the Canadiens. The Red Wings are also slightly more rested, having not played last night.
