How to Watch Detroit Red Wings at Montreal Canadiens: Stream NHL Live, TV Channel

The two teams at the brink of the NHL’s Eastern Conference Wild Card bubble meet up on Tuesday night, with the Montreal Canadiens hosting the Detroit Red Wings.

Entering play on Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens (38-30-9) and Detroit Red Wings (36-33-7) sit on the bubble of the Eastern Conference Wild Card picture as the NHL regular season winds down. It just so happens, those two teams will face each other on Tuesday night at the Bell Center. The Canadiens own the final Wild Card spot as things stand heading into the game, with 85 standings points. Detroit is the first team on the outside looking in, six points back. However, the Red Wings have played one less game than the Canadiens, so they have a chance to trim their deficit while keeping that cushion on Tuesday night.

Montreal has increased the gap in recent games with a five game winning streak. That streak includes two wins over the Florida Panthers. Most recently, the Canadiens visited the Nashville Predators on Sunday and won 2-1.

Overall, the Canadiens have been dominant defensively during this stretch. They haven’t allowed more than two goals in any of the five games, with eight total goals allowed during the winning streak.

Detroit comes in having won back-to-back games, and three of its last four. The Red Wings also last played on Sunday, when they beat the Panthers 2-1. Prior to that, they beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-3.

The Canadiens and Red Wings have already met twice this year. Montreal swept a home-and-home back-to-back back in late December, then Detroit picked up a 4-2 win at home in late January.
