Visiting Bench

The Red Wings are unbeaten in regulation against the Canadiens in the past five games (4-0-1) at Little Caesars Arena.

Detroit has scored 48 goals in 13 games this season, good enough for fifth best in the league. 

Dylan Larkin leads the Red Wings with five goals, 12 assists for 17 points.

Former Canadiens Ben Chiarot and Jeff Petry will play together on the second pair. 

James Reimer (2-2-0 / 1.52 GAA / .944 SV%) is the confirmed starter for the Red Wings.

Game Expectations

The Canadiens are looking to end a four-game losing streak (0-3-1). The Canadiens have allowed the first goal in six games straight. They must change that in Detroit.
