Detroit is in last place because the defense has struggled all season, at #25 in goals allowed. It's the second of a back-to-back spot and they've gone OVER in five straight situations like this by scores of 5-4, 6-1, 4-3, 5-2 and 6-3. Montreal is rested and home, on a terrific run with the offense clicking, scoring 14 goals the last four games. Play this one to finish OVER the total.
