Montreal +110 over Detroit

7:00 PM ET. Detroit comes into this game having lost four of its last five and looking utterly uninspired offensively, scoring just one goal in each of its last three games. That includes a 2-1 overtime loss to Philadelphia, where the Wings “found a way to get a point,” according to captain Dylan Larkin—a telling statement that reflects their recent mediocrity. Detroit’s scoring woes can’t simply be pinned on bad luck.

The Canadiens, on the other hand, have won 13 of their last 17 games and have already beaten Detroit twice during this stretch. Those wins weren’t flukes, either: Montreal outplayed the Wings in critical moments and followed up their Dec. 20 victory in Detroit with a dominant 5-1 performance at home the next night. The Habs have confidence against this opponent, and that matters when it comes to finding value in underdogs.

Montreal has also demonstrated resilience. After a humbling 7-3 loss to Toronto, the Canadiens rebounded with wins over the Islanders and Lightning, both of which required them to battle back from deficits. Teams that believe in themselves, even when trailing, are dangerous, especially in games where they’re expected to lose. The Habs are not just a live dog—they’re a dangerous one.
