Keys to the Game

Penalty Kill

Last time these two played the Red Wings gave up two power play goals in a 4-2 loss. Montreal is one of the few teams in the league with less goals this season than the Red Wings. The penalty kill has been up and down (mostly down) this season so they either need to be up tonight or the Red Wings need to stay out of the box.

Speed

This is said often as a key for the Red Wings. With players like Larkin, Athanasiou, Mantha and even Nyquist and Helm they have some talented skaters. Montreal is not the fleetest of foot on the back end, even with Shea Weber out. If they can find the space to get moving, they should be able to use it to get some good looks at goal.
