Red Wings vs. Canadiens Recap: DeBrincat, Raymond Shot Props Cash

The Montreal Canadiens beat the Detroit Red Wings 1-0 in a shootout on Saturday night after 65 minutes of scoreless hockey. Neither team scored in regulation or in the 5-minute overtime. Shots on goal finished even at 30 apiece, and neither team scored on its 4 power plays. Daniil Tarasov stopped all 30 shots he faced for Detroit, and Jacob Fowler stopped all 30 for Montreal. The lone goal in the 1-0 final is the shootout credit ESPN gives the winning team, which Montreal earned in the sixth round of the shootout. Two DARIMARKET plays cashed on this game, both Detroit shot props.

What cashed

Alex DeBrincat 3+ shots on goal (-170 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: DeBrincat had 3 or more shots in 62 of 82 games last season and in 3 of 4 games this season, and Detroit came in averaging 33.5 shots a game. Steady shot volume on a high-volume team was the angle. - What happened: DeBrincat finished with 7 shots on goal, 4.5 over the 2.5 line, in 21:50 of ice time (16:14 at even strength, 5:36 on the power play). He had 2 shots in the 1st and cleared the line with his third at 5:21 of the 2nd, then added 4 more after that. His 7 shots were the most of any skater on either team, and 3 more of his attempts went off target. - Worth watching: He is getting heavy power-play time, and his shots came in every period of regulation. The angle stays worth a look while that holds and the price sits near -170.

Lucas Raymond 2+ shots on goal (-180 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Raymond had 2 or more shots in all 4 games this season and in 53 of 80 games last season, so we liked the low line. - What happened: Raymond finished with 4 shots on goal, 2.5 over the 1.5 line, in 21:11 of ice time with 5:34 on the power play. He had 1 shot in the 1st and cleared the line at 5:30 of the 2nd. He added another in the 2nd and one more at 3:14 of overtime that Fowler turned aside. - Worth watching: His power-play minutes nearly match DeBrincat's, which keeps the floor high. At -180 the price is steep, so this one fits better as a parlay leg than a big single.

How the game played out

Detroit had the better 1st, outshooting Montreal 11-9, and Montreal pushed back in the 2nd with an 11-7 edge. Detroit took the 3rd 9-7, and overtime was even at 3 shots each. Special teams never broke it open: Fowler made 10 saves while Detroit was on the power play, and Tarasov made 5 while Montreal had the extra man. Detroit also blocked 22 shots to Montreal's 12, with Moritz Seider blocking 6 in 29:33 of ice time.

Trends to watch

• DeBrincat and Raymond combined for 11 of Detroit's 30 shots, and both logged more than 5 minutes on the power play. That share keeps both of their shot props in play.
• Both goalies had full workloads. Tarasov and Fowler each saw 30 shots, and each stopped every one through regulation and overtime.
• Shots on goal came easier than goals here. The teams combined for 60 shots on goal and 8 power-play chances without a goal before the shootout.
