There is no head-to-head record between Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings in our data feed, so past meetings play no part in this call. In our results records, Montreal Canadiens won 1 and lost 3 of their last 4 completed matches. In our results records, Detroit Red Wings won 1 and lost 2 of their last 3 completed matches.

The call is Montreal Canadiens to win, overtime and shootout included, at 58% confidence: the market's margin-free 58.5% for Montreal Canadiens, moved down 0.6 points by recent results; while our results records are thin, the move is limited to 3 points.
