Here are the odds and lines for tonight’s game courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook:

Are we seeing the best stretch of Dylan Larkin’s NHL career thus far? In his last nine games, the Detroit captain has six goals and six assists, and at least one point in each game. In Tuesday’s loss to the Stars, Larkin scored a goal and also recorded an assist. We will continue to ride Larkin points on the top Michigan sportsbooks.

“I almost like assisting on a goal [more than] scoring a goal,” Larkin said earlier this season.

If that’s the case, opposing teams are in for trouble. Larkin has great options on his left and his right, with David Perron and Lucas Raymond on his line. In the last five games, both Raymond and Perron have four points. This hot line is why the Red Wings are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and slight favorites against the Flyers.

We like the lines on DraftKings Sportsbook for Larkin. The captain is +150 to be anytime goal scorer and -190 for over 0.5 points.

• The Wings have been favorites between -140 and -110 eight times this year. They have a 5-3 record in those contests.
• Detroit is 9-5 as the moneyline favorite this season.
• Detroit is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games.
• The Wings and their opponent have gone UNDER 6.5 goals in 27 of 47 games (57%).
• The Flyers and their opponent have been UNDER 6.5 goals in 29 of 48 games (60%).
• Philly is 17-17 as an underdog, but only 7-12 on the road in those circumstances.
• The Flyers are 13-14 when listed as an underdog of at least +111
• Philadelphia has allowed 28 goals in its last 10 games.
• The Red Wings have surrendered 30 goals in its last 10 games.

This game prop is predicated on no overtime, and each team getting one in the net. If that happens, regardless of which team wins, your wager pays off. A $100 bet would return $224, including your stake.

The Red Wings and Flyers have split the two games they’ve played. On December 16 in Philly, the Flyers won 1-0. A few days later, on December 22, the Wings won at home in a wild shootout, 7-6.

We expect the under (6.5 goals) to cash in with how Detroit goalie Alex Lyon has been playing. In nine of his last 10 games, Lyon has allowed three goals or less. His record is 6-3-1 in that span.
