First rating: Lucas Raymond [plus de 0,5 point]
Raymond reached a milestone this season with the Detroit Red Wings, accumulating 33 points in 32 games. This impressive pace makes him the best scorer on his team. Above all, his consistency commands admiration: he has scored at least one point in 23 of his 32 games, demonstrating that he is a constant contributor, regardless of the opponent or the location.
The duel against the Montreal Canadiens is the perfect opportunity for Raymond to continue his momentum. The CH ranks 31st in the NHL for goals allowed per game (3.63). During their last four meetings at the Bell Center, Montreal allowed 16 goals, showing obvious flaws in defense.
Cayden Primeau should be between the pipes for the CH, and his performances this season leave something to be desired: a goals allowed average of 4.70 and a save percentage of only 0.836. In each of his starts, he has allowed at least three goals, which should give Raymond several opportunities to record a point.
The Swede is no stranger to away success these days. He has scored ten points in his last ten road games.
During his last three visits to the Bell Centre, he collected a point on each occasion. The Canadians, who concede the second highest total of shots at home (31.1), risk offering the Wings many chances to score, and Raymond will take advantage of them.
Second rating: Moritz Seider [plus de 1,5 tirs]
Since the start of the season, Seider has established himself as a constant threat when playing away. With 29 shots in 15 road games, he averages 1.93 shots per duel, surpassing the 1.5 shots mark.
His history against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Center further reinforces this prediction. In six games played in this arena since his debut in 2021, he has accumulated 16 shots on goal, for an impressive average of 2.67 per game. He managed to reach or exceed the plateau of two shots in four of these six confrontations, including each time in the last three games.
The German also plays on the Red Wings' first power play unit, which gives him additional shooting opportunities. This statistic becomes even more significant when we consider that the Habs are the team that spends the most time in the penalty box at home, with an average of 5:45 per game. This factor should give Seider additional chances to find the net.
In addition, during the last duel between the two troops, played Friday in Detroit, number 53 recorded two shots on goal.
Combining his consistent performance on the road this season and his prolific history at the Bell Center against the Canadiens, Moritz Seider presents all the characteristics of a wise choice to exceed the 1.5 shots plateau.
