In Play Magazine
Tonight, in Montreal, the Red Wings will play the Canadiens for the only time this season.
Montreal is coming off a 3-2 win in Washington, last night, where they were outplayed by the Capitals but managed to steal a win. Detroit is coming off a loss, also last night, where they outplayed the Panthers in Detroit but were stopped in overtime. Even though this game is being played in Montreal, Detroit actually traveled a shorter distance than Montreal last night to get to the Bell Centre.
With Carry Price having been in net last night, it is possible that Montreal’s backup Jaroslav Halak could be in net tonight. Detroit has played backups in both of its last games and lost. “It was just a case where they put in their backup and he had his best night of the season,” Wings’ coach Mike Babcock told media last night.
Montreal has struggled this season and is not known for their goaltending. If the Wings play like they did last night and can get another 40 shots on goal, they will likely walk away with a win today.
