Montreal has overachieved tremendously to start the season. They have two wins - both against Pittsburgh ( a Stanley Cup contender) and only one regulation loss. Now they get their best player back between the pipes - with rest - in a healthy Carey Price. The Habs win games by being aggressive and forechecking and being relentlessly fast. Meanwhile Detroit is one of the lowest scoring teams in the league averaging just 2.2 goals which is good for 25th. They also don't generate a lot of shots, at just 28.4 which puts them in 23rd overall. The Wings were just smacked by Boston 8-2 in their last game, so a defensive bounce-back will be a demand from the coach, so we like that as well.
The UNDER has hit in 14 of Montreal's last 19 games vs the Atlantic.
