Canadiens vs Red Wings Prediction

The Canadiens have nothing to play for at this point and are on track to go 14-16-10 on the season. The Red Wings have won 22 of their 39 at home this season and are still in the playoff race. The Red Wings haven't been great the last two weeks, but they have everything on the table and the motivation is huge this time of year. The Red Wings have won 5 of their last 7 games against the Habs. Give me the Red Wings at home and I'll put in a PL to lower the price.
