Game Preview
The Detroit Red Wings will be aiming to maintain their reliable run of form this week when they chase a second straight win in the NHL. Detroit currently sits fourth in the Atlantic Division standings, and they have gone 4-4-2 across their last ten.
Detroit should have confidence ahead of this clash following an excellent road success against the Seattle Kraken over the weekend. The Red Wings struck late in the final period to secure the win. Their goals in the success were scored by Andrew Copp, Emmitt Finnie, and James van Riemsdyk.
However, the Vancouver Canucks will have the home ice advantage this week. They come into this clash in poor overall form, having won just three in their last ten, while their overall record in the NHL this season reads 11-15-3.
But, confidence would have been gained following a win in their latest outing. Vancouver registered a 4-2 win over the Minnesota Wild over the weekend, with three of their goals being scored in the second period. Aatu Raty scored twice, and also added an assist in that home win.
Red Wings vs. Canucks Picks
While the Canucks may have home ice advantage this week, it remains challenging to overlook the Red Wings from claiming victory after enjoying a solid record on the road throughout the NHL season.
