The Montreal Canadiens found themselves in a bit of an odd spot heading into their Saturday night clash with the Detroit Red Wings. Not only had the Habs dominated both previous meetings with Detroit, they came into Saturday night’s game in a run of fairly solid form. They took a red-hot Los Aangeles Kings team into overtime on Tuesday and came up just short, then bounced back with a huge win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
After a successful game on Thursday, Dominique Ducharme opted to keep his lineup the exact same, right down to Jake Allen getting the nod as the starter again.
