Premium Pick

The Ducks took a key game in Detroit and now sit in the driver's seat in the series. They showed heart battling through an 0-for-12 power play performance in Detroit to get a big road win. Now they return home with confidence - and well deserved. They were 31-16 at home this season outscoring opponents by one full goal per game. THat includes a stellar 12-2 mark vs. teams with a winning percentage off 60% or higher! They've held playoff opponents to 1.8 goals per game which doesn't bode well for Detroit here. The Red Wings are just one game over .500 on the road this season. They averaged 2.6 goals per game away from home and allowed the same 2.6 per game. They are scoring 2.6 per game in the playoffs and should find the net very hard to find tonight. The Wings are 5-13 this season on the road after having won 3 of their last 4 games. And to cap it off, Anaheim is 20-5 this year as a hoem favorite of -200 or less.
