Detroit has a winning record, and is 5-3-2 in its last 10 games. They are a long way from home, but have excellent balance at No. 16 in goals scored and No. 12 in goals allowed. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall averted a suspension as the NHL deemed his hit on Minnesota's Charlie Coyle on Wednesday legal, and the Red Wings are 15-7 in their last 22 vs. the Pacific Division. The offense has scored 10 goals the last three games, including a pair of wins, one a 5-2 victory at Vancouver as a +165 dog. The Red Wings are 4-1 in their last five games when playing on one day of rest. Anaheim is in a let down spot after Wednesday's big win over Chicago 4-2, dealing the Blackhawks just their third regulation loss of the season. Chicago was on the way to a 2-1 road victory until Anaheim scored three times in stunning style, making this a great spot for the visitors. Play on Detroit.
