Montreal Canadiens welcome Detroit Red Wings to their backyard as the home side looks to recover from their defeat while the visitors aim to continue their winning momentum.
Struggling in the bottom part of the Atlantic Division, the Montreal Canadiens will need a massive result to improve their record of 10-11-2 in the 23 games thus far. Their shambolic defeat against the Panthers added more misery as the latter emerged victorious 5-1. With just five points separating Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings the home side would want to close the gap to their opposition with a win on Sunday.
Detroit Red Wings, on the other hand, are fourth in the same division and are chasing the summit with Boston Bruins six points ahead of them. With Toronto Maple Leafs playing a difficult fixture, the Red Wings can leapfrog them and move a place ahead in the table. The 5-1 thundering of the Chicago Blackhawks will give them confidence before the crucial clash.
