Game seven in Anaheim! Anaheim has home ice, but has found itself to be in a tougher battle than it may have anticipated. Detroit is off a 4-3 win and was thrilled to have Justin Abdelkader back in the lineup after serving a two-game suspension for an illegal hit. The Red Wings are 7-2 in their last nine games playing on one day's rest. And let's not overlook the importance of that one intangible, experience. It's all on the line in game seven, and Detroit will be appearing in the 23rd game seven in its history, and fifth in as many years. The Red Wings are 13-9 in their previous 22 deciding contests of a best-of-seven series, five of which have gone to overtime where they are 4-1. The Red Wings have been great in this postseason with these pressure games: four of the first six games of this series, and each of the last three have been decided after regulation. With Detroit hosting all three of its victories in overtime. Grab the dog in this game seven. Play the Detroit Red Wings.
