Detroit Red Wings @ Columbus Blue Jackets
3* Selection: Detroit +106
Whenever the Detroit Red Wings are the underdog in any matchup they are definitely worth playing. This is a team that all hockey fans know will always find a way to win their division and more often than not the Western Conference. Prior to last season, the Red Wings were first place in the Western Conference for five consecutive seasons.
Prior to last season, the Red Wings were first place in the Western Conference for five consecutive seasons. They have proven to be a very reliable road team. Their overall road record over the past 5 seasons (excluding this current season) is 123-82. They have had a winning road record in each of their last five seasons. Detroit’s road record as it stands is 2-4 so based on this team’s rich history, the Red Wings are bound to win at least 55% of their road contests from here on in. Another key factor to consider is that Detroit is coming off an embarassing 5-1 loss to Toronto last Saturday. Detroit is 47-24 in its last 71 after allowing 5 goals in its previous contest and 39-23 in its last 62 coming off a loss of 3 goals or more. Detroit is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings and 17-8 in its last 25 meetings in Columbus. This will likely be a close one but at this price we will gladly take our chances on the Red Wings.
