Devils at Red Wings picks and predictions
Prediction
Red Wings 3, Devils 2
Moneyline
Detroit is back on home ice after a solo road game. In their last 8 such games last season, the Red Wings went 6-2.
The Devils are playing on the road for just the second time and were blasted 6-0 at the New York Islanders in their previous tilt away from Newark.
Gibson has posted solid early-season numbers over his career and last season clocked a .925 SV% vs. New Jersey. He backs a Detroit club that has a nice spread in net high-danger looks. And last season, the Wings displayed excellent results in games played on 2-day rest. They went 10-5-0 with an average goal differential of +0.60.
With a rest advantage in this one, the RED WINGS (-110) are worth a partial-unit look on a tight margin.
Puck line/Against the spread
Too much juice: PASS.
Over/Under
The Devils (2.2 goals per game) and Red Wings (2.0 GPG) head into this game ranked 27th and 29th, respectively, in scoring. Both clubs had relatively low-scoring games at both ends in preseason. And both prospective netminders have good numbers against the clubs they oppose in this meeting.
TAKE THE UNDER 6 (-105).
