Pick

Detroit had gone through a little bit of a rough patch, but they have won two of their last three games and they are coming off of a huge win against Boston. New York had their six game winning streak snapped in their last game, but they are only allowing 2.09 goals against per game this year. Both of New York’s goaltenders have been great to start this season, but how long can Quick keep this pace up? The Wings have a very good offensive attack and I like them to get the road win here.
