Red Wing Machine
Detroit doesn’t rebuild, they simply reload, and the Red Wings have proven to be one of the most consistent NHL franchises in the last generation as a perennial Stanley Cup contender and a top 5 team. The Red Wings have shown incredible balance as they ranked both 6th in goal scoring and goals against. Detroit has been a break even team on the road this year while going over the total in less than 40 percent of their away games.

Hawks Not Fulfilling Potential
Chicago is one of the most talented offensive teams in the NHL and ranked 4th in the league for goal scoring but their defense slipped all the way to 27th for goals against and was the main reason for a horrific losing streak in late January that put the Blackhawks in peril of missing the playoffs.
Trends
Detroit has won 3 of the last 4 hockey betting matchups in this head to head series after losing the previous 4 straight to Chicago. This series has gone under the total in 8 of the last 10 matchups. The Red Wings have had solid success in Chicago as of late with 5 payouts in their last 7 visits to the United Center as 6 of the last 7 head to head meetings between the teams in Chicago have gone under the total.
NHL Pick
Despite Detroit’s superior play as of late and recent trends, the Blackhawks figure to be a better than average betting value as the public is becoming leery of them. Chicago must get their team in sync to assure a playoff berth so we’ll take the Blackhawks in this matchup.
