The Red Wings face the divisional foe Montreal Canadiens tonight in Quebec, a pivotal clash that could ultimately help determine their postseason fates.
It's going to be one of the most impactful regular season games games in recent memory for the Detroit Red Wings, who trail the divisional foe Montreal Canadiens by 6 points for one of the final Wild Card playoff berths.
The Red Wings are expected to deploy the same line combinations as they did in their recent 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers at Little Caesars Arena. The win kept them in the playoff race despite several other teams within the division competing for the same spot.
Per Ansar Khan of MLive, here are today's anticipated line combinations:
Goaltender Cam Talbot has already been guaranteed the start in the crease according to the Red Wings' coaching staff.
Television broadcast coverage will be simulcast on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit and Fox 2 in Detroit, while radio coverage can be heard on 97.1 The Ticket.
The head of Detroit's coaching staff is Todd McLellan, and he expressed his appreciation for the traditional atmosphere that Montreal offers for hockey games.
When I get asked, 'Where do you like to go?' Montreal is certainly one of (the buildings). Maybe because I'm a bit of a traditionalist. (Watching) Hockey Night Canada when you were a kid, and Danny Gallivan's voice and having been in the old Forum, it's a special place. It's where hockey people go when they think of going to church.
Considering the deficit the Red Wings face, it would be in their best interest to win in regulation.
