Red Wings vs. Avalanche: Preview, odds, parlay and best bet
The long-awaited meeting between the Red Wings and Avalanche finally takes place tonight when Detroit hosts rival Colorado. The Avs are among the favorites to win the Stanley Cup (+850, FanDuel) and are priced as favorites for Thursday’s game.
Here are the odds for the game from FanDuel Sportsbook:
Detroit has played well this year, posting a 12-4-2 record since January 1. Odds on the best NHL betting sites are adjusting when it comes to the Wings.
FanDuel now lists Detroit at +3200 to win the Eastern Conference, meaning the team is a longshot, but possibly an option for your Stanley Cup Playoff betting strategy. A $10 bet on those odds would net you $320 if Detroit won the conference.

Score prediction: Red Wings 5, Avalanche 3
Detroit is 5-1-1 in its last 7 home games. The Red Wings are averaging 3.55 goals in its last nine games. They’ll count on stellar goaltending from netminder Alex Ryan, who has a 2.83 goals against average. The Wings are without No. 2 goalie Ville Husso, who is listed as “week to week” by the team due to a lower body strain. Right winder Alex DeBrincat needs to heat back up. He was one of the NHL stars of the first week of February, but has hit a cold stretch. Teammate and team captain Dylan Larkin knows nothing about being cold: he has 18 points (seven goals and 11 assists) in 18 games since January 1. Larkin is always a good prop bet on the top Michigan sportsbooks.
