Canadiens Are Looking To Get Their Offense Going

It has been a struggle for the Montreal Canadiens out the game and while they have struggled in the crease, they have struggled more at putting the puck in the net. The Habs have been one of the worst scoring teams in the league so far and while they have won their last two games in a row (prior to Wednesday night) they still failed to score more than three goals in each game. They have now failed to score more than three goals in 10 of their last 11 games and have averaged just 1.91 gpg over that stretch. The play in the crease has been getting far better of late as they have allowed just 2.18 gpg over their last 11 games. They really need to get their offense goi8ng to be a real threat in the East. The Habs have gone 4-8 on the road. Carey Price is expected to get the nod on Wednesday night, so getting the call in this one should be Antti Niemi, who is 0-5 with a 5.50 GAA and a .845 save percentage on the year, including 0-4 with a 5.62 GAA on the road. This is the 3rd team he has played for this year and is 0-1 with a 2.40 GAA in one start for the Habs. In his career, he has gone 95-103 with a 2.71 GAA on the road and 23-27 with a 2.64 GAA against the Atlantic Division, while against the Red Wings he has gone 14-6 with a 1.91 GAA.

The Canadiens have been really poor on offense so far as they come in ranked 30th in the league in scoring at 2.36 gpg, while also ranking 3rd in shots taken (35.3 spg) and 27th in power play conversions, converting on 16.1% of their chances. At the defensive end of the ice, they have been poor as they come in ranked 26th in goals allowed, giving up 3.20 gpg, while also ranking 13th in shots allowed (31.4%) and 23rd in penalty kill, allowing teams to convert on 22.6% of their chances.

Offense Fails To Show In Loss To The Kings

The Detroit Red Wings are in 3rd place in the Atlantic Division, but it has proven to be a very weak division as they are just 10-15 on the year. Still, they are in better position than last year when they missed the playoffs for the first time in a coon’s age. The Red Wings come in off a 4-1 home loss to the Kings and they have now lost their last five games in a row. Their offense has been a struggle for them this year and after grabbing a 1-0 lead against the Kings, 14:12 into the game, their offense was shut down the rest of the way. Scoring their lone goal was Mike Green, which was his 2nd of the year. The Red Wings have now scored just 10 total goals during their losing skid. Detroit has gone 4-8 at home for the year. Taking the loss against the Kings was Jimmy Howard, who allowed four goals on 36 shot attempts to fall to 8-11 with a 2.57 GAA and a .921 save percentage on the year, including 4-7 with a 2.92 GAA and a .908 save percentage here at home. In his career, he has gone 116-99 with a 21.36 GAA in his home games and 29-41 with a 2.44 GSAA against the Atlantic Division, while against the Canadiens in his career he has gone 4-8 with a 3.02 GAA.

The Red Wings have been a bit below average on offense so far as they come in ranked 23rd in the league in scoring at 2.72 gpg, while also ranking 16th in shots taken (31.1 spg) and 10th in power play conversions, converting on 21.8% of their chances. At the defensive end of the ice, they have been decent so far as they check in at 11th in goals allowed, giving up just 2.92 gpg, while also ranking 24th in shots allowed (32.9 spg) and 4th in penalty kill, allowing teams to convert on 15.9% of their chances.

Trends

Montreal is:

The Under is 11-1-1 in their last 13 in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation

The Under is 41-17-14 in their last 72 games playing on 0 days rest

Detroit is:

The Under is 8-1 in their last nine games playing on one days rest

The Under is 7-1 in their last eight vs. the Eastern Conference

The Habs have lost seven of their last 10 games, while the Red Wings have lost their last five games in a row. The Canadiens come in with no rest and will have Antti Niemi in the crease instead of Carey Price, but he did have his best start of the year as a member of the Canadiens. Jimmy Howard has not played well at home but will be going up against a weak offense that has scored more than three goals just once in their last 11 games. The Red Wings come in having scored just seven goals in their last five games and I don’t see them getting much here against a Habs team that has allowed just 2.18 gpg over their last 11 games. I will go with the Under here, especially knowing that the Under is 6-1 the last seven meetings between these teams here in Detroit.

Pick: Under*

* 디트로이트는 지난 5 경기에서 단지 7 골을 넣었고, 지난 11 경기에서 2.18 gpg를 허용한 몬트리올과는 많이 다르지 않습니다. 저는 Under와 함께 할 것 입니다. 특히 디트로이트와 몬트리올의 경기는 지난 7경기에서 6번의 언더와 1번의 오버 경기가 나왔습니다.
