Detroit Red Wings (39-32-9, 87 PTS, TIED OUT) HC: Derek Lalonde Top Performers: Lucas Raymond (29-40-69 -16); Dylan Larkin (63 GP, 33-34-67); Alex DeBrincat (26-39-65 -3); Shayne Gostisbehere (10-41-51 –19); J.T. Compher 17-29-46 –4); Patrick Kane (48 GP, 20-26-46 –4); David Perron (16-28-44 –11); Daniel Sprong 17-24-41 -7); Moritz Seider (8-33-41 –10); Michael Rasmussen (13-20-33 +8); Andrew Copp (13-20-33);
DET Developments: What to watch for, If DET wins out against MTL on Mon and Tues, and WSH loses at least one game in any variety to either BOS or PHI, The Red Wings will go to the playoffs. The season ends for both Detroit and Washington on Tuesday. Copp, Rasmussen, Husso all day-to-day?
Montreal Canadiens: (30-36-14, 74 PTS) HC: Martin St. Louis Top Performers: Nick Suzuki (33-43-76 –12); Cole Caufield (27-37-64 –4); Mike Matheson (11-51-62 –23); Juraj Slafkovsky (19-29-48 –19); Alex Newhook (14-19-33 –11); Brendan Gallagher (13-14-27 –24)
MTL Developments: Fifth-worst team in the league points wise. Spoiler role. But if DET isn’t careful the likes of Suzuki, Caufield and Matheson can drive the offensive bus and end the season for the Red Wings. The numbers for the team aren’t great, but this is a North-South approach, and goals will be scored. These two teams meet again on Tuesday, if DET loses in regulation tonight the season is likely over, and the coverage changes to the possible clincher.
Goaltending: Sam Montembeault (16-15-8, 3.10 GAA, .904 SV); Cayden Primeau (8-9-3, 2.95 GAA, .910 SV, 2 SO) vs. Alex Lyon (20-18-5, 3.03 GAA, .906 SV, 2 SO); James Reimer (10-8-2, 3.07 GAA, .905 SV, 2 SO)
