Money Line: 130.00 Red Wings (DET) (Home)
Result: Win
The Kings are coming into this game with a 26-14-6 record this season but they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have been in a slump recently as they have lost 3 of their last 4 as well as 5 of their last 7 games and they are coming off of a 3-2 loss in OT against the Blue Jackets in their last game. Their offense has been awful in their recent games as they have not scored more than 2 goals in their last 4 straight as well as 8 of their last 9 games, and their defense has not been great either with 3+ goals allowed in 3 of their last 4 games. They are going up against a Red Wings team that is 23-21-5 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They were in a bit of a slump last week, but they have been playing much better now with 2 straight wins. Their defense has been great in these as well, allowing just 2 goals in their last 2 games and coming off of a 2-0 shutout win against the Lightning in their last game. They have also been much better at home recently as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games there, and their offense has been much better in these as they have been scoring more goals in those games. The Red Wings are currently sitting in 2nd to last place in the Atlantic Division, but they are not out of this playoff race with 51 points so they are going to be pushing to win this game at home now that they are heating up, and they have the offense to beat up on this Kings team that has not been playing well recently or scoring goals in their games. The Red Wings will win this game at home.
