The Montreal Canadiens sit atop the NHL thanks in large to their flawless 9-0-0 record at the Bell Centre this season. In their nine home games this season, the Habs have outscored opponents 32-12 with six of their nine wins coming by two goals or more. The Detroit Red Wings look to be the first blemish on the Canadiens home record when they travel to Montreal Saturday.
- The Red Wings are 0-5 in their past 5 visits to the Bell Centre.
- The Canadiens are 8-2 in their past 10 games against the Red Wings.
- Max Pacioretty has 7 assists and 4 assists in 11 career games against the Red Wings.
Montreal’s top line of Alex Galchenyuk, Alexander Radulov and Paul Byron has been one of the best units in the NHL recently, as the trio has accounted for four goals and a combined +10 rating in the past two games. Radulov has been an especially adept acquisition for the Habs, as the winger has tallied eight primary assists on the season.
Goalie Jimmy Howard has excelled for the Red Wings since being given the bulk of the starting duty over Petr Mrazek. Howard has started each of the Red Wings past three games while posting a 1.64 GAA and a .944 save percentage.
