The NHL Atlantic Division will have strong activity on the schedule for next Thursday night, however there will be also a low tier game between Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens, teams that will face at 06:00 pm CST. Even so, both are expected to try their best to win as this is a must-win game for them due to their current positions in the Eastern Conference standings.
On the one hand, Detroit Red Wings had such a bad time during the first half of the regular season, currently holding a streak of 3 losses in a row, in which they couldn’t score more than 1 goal per game. With that in mind, it must be noted that their top scorer, Dylan Larkin, has only been able to score 2 goals during his last 5 games, numbers that are very concerning as there’s not a great offensive consistency in the whole team.
On the other hand, Montreal Canadiens are also a very irregular team, so even when they currently are tied in points with Ottawa and Boston, they aren’t really expected to get into the playoffs by the end of the regular season. Despite that expectation, they’ve been able to win 4 out of their last 5 games, including victories over TB Lightning, NY Rangers and DAL Stars, however they aren’t taken into consideration as the favorites to win this game.
