Stephen Nover's NHL Thursday Top Ticket
(NHL) Detroit vs. Arizona, 03/16/2017 6:00 PM, Score: 5 - 4
Money Line: -110.00 Arizona (Home)
Result: Loss
Arizona is the better team right now, has the superior goalie in Mike Smith and has home ice.

Riding a three-game win streak, the Coyotes have a winning record during their past 20 games. Detroit is 6-12-2 in its last 20 games. The Red Wings are 1-5-1 in their last seven games having just lost at Colorado on Wednesday.

Smith should be sharp after being rested in the Coyotes' last game two days ago. He is coming off a shutout and made 37 saves when the Coyotes beat Detroit, 4-1, on Dec. 14 when the Red Wings were playing better.

The Red Wings have won only 32 percent of their last 56 road contests.
