Two division leaders collide Monday night in Detroit, and this rematch comes with real weight. Carolina handled the Red Wings 5-2 on Dec. 27 with a big shot-volume edge, but Detroit arrives playing its best hockey of the season and riding a three-game win streak after a 4-0 shutout of Montreal.

This sets up as a classic “desperate bounce back” spot, but desperation doesn’t fix coverage or goaltending by itself. These are current
