NHL Odds: Red Wings vs. Ducks prediction, odds and pick
Detroit Red Wings take on Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night. The Red Wing's have lost three in a row and are looking for their first win in the last three games. Anaheim's record is poor and they lost to the Red Wens in their previous meeting on October 23. They have a 4-10-1 record this season.
The Red Wings are looking to get back to the playoffs after a 25-year absence. The Ducks are struggling and are playing without three starters. Detroit is near full strength and has not been hit with the injury bug. Both teams have poor offenses and have scored less than five goals twice in the opening 15 games of the season. The Red Wing's goalie, Ville Husso, has held opponents to 2.54 goals per game and a .920 save percentage.
The Ducks have started the new season poorly. They have 65 games to play before they get on the right track. The Ducks play Detroit at home on Saturday.
Anaheim Ducks are the only team in hockey to not have a win in regulation yet. They have scored only three goals in their last two games. Anaheim outshot Chicago Blackhawks 41-22 in the last game. The team is currently 6th in NHL with 2.67 goals per game, but they could cover the spread by continuing to pepper the goalie with shots on goal.
Both teams are not playing their best hockey at the moment. The Ducks are favored to win by multiple goals.
The final odds are Ducks +1.5 (-260).
