Carolina at Detroit

After two decades of domination and playoff success, the Detroit Red Wings franchise has taken a nosedive. This season is just adding to the misery, and Detroit will host Carolina tonight. The Red Wings are just 8-17 on the season. They are playing poorly over their last six games where they are 1-5 and have allowed a woeful 4.3 goals per contest. Carolina comes in at 20-6 on the season and are playing their best hockey of the season having won eight straight games. The Hurricanes have stopped opposing offenses cold as no team has topped the two-goal mark against them in seven straight contests. This one could get ugly early, and the line here looks like a bargain. Make the play on Carolina.
