Money Line: 120.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
ASA PLAY ON 10* Detroit +120 over Chicago, Friday at 8 PM ET - Each of these teams has scored just 9 goals so far in 4 games this season. However, the reason the Red Wings have a pair of wins and the Blackhawks are still searching for their first one is because Chicago has allowed twice as many goals! While Detroit has conceded only 10 times, Hawks opponents have found the back of the net 20 times already this season. That is an average of 5 goals allowed per game and that spells trouble in this match-up. While Chicago is playing their home opener that doesn't mean anything close to what it normally would in a non-covid season! The teams the Red Wings have beaten are solid defensive-minded teams that were solid in the post-season last year too - Columbus and Carolina. That said, facing a Chicago team with sub-par netminding and a young team and porous defense is very likely to bring out the best in Detroit's offensive production here. Factoring that along with their respectable play in their own end of the rink this season and this one goes to the road team. Grab the underdog value. 10* DETROIT
