We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

As note that Detroit is just 8-14 (-5 units) this year following a divisional contest and only 11-12 (-1.1 units) after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest, while Montreal is 14-8 (+2.8 units) against the divisoin and 20-12 (+3.6 units) against clubs with losing records.

The bottom line: Detroit comes in off a deflating 2-1 home loss to lowly Buffalo just last night, all but erasing any hopes it has in making the postseason. Montreal comes in with a ton of momentum after beating Ottawa twice. Note that this is in fact the final of a fourth set of back-to-back games for now "gassed" Red Wings. Detroit hasn't won in Montreal in over three years and the CANADIENS can once again smell the blood in the water, lay the price with confidence.
