Canadiens vs Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings host the Montreal Canadiens in a crucial Atlantic Division battle. Detroit’s captain, Dylan Larkin, has been the centerpiece of their attack, combining speed and skill to create opportunities against opposing defenses. Meanwhile, the Canadiens lean heavily on Nick Suzuki, whose playmaking ability has been crucial in recent tight games. The Red Wings’ recent defensive lapses, however, could be exploited by Montreal's transition game, especially if their goaltending remains inconsistent. With both teams in need of points to stay in the playoff hunt, Detroit’s home-ice edge and deeper forward group may prove to be the deciding factor.
