Detroit at Anaheim

The Detroit Red Wings, once a fixture in the playoffs for decades, have not set foot on the ice in a playoff game since the 2015-16 season. They have started out winless in two games and a loss tonight would be the first time a Detroit team has started a season winless through three games since the 1991-92 season. It paints a picture of just how far this franchise has fallen the last 2+ years. Anaheim is off to a 2-0 start and are a franchise on the rise, and with a win tonight can start 3-0 for the first time since the 2006-07 season. It is pretty plain to see the direction of these teams is a polar opposite. It has shown up on the ice between these two squads as Anaheim has taken seven of the last 10 meetings overall and four of five in Anaheim. Make the play on Anaheim.
