Chicago grabs the top spot in the West with a win. But, Detroit is also motivated here. Looking at ninth place on March 9, they have since climbed to have a shot at fifth place by going 12-1-2. Young Jimmy Howard has posted a 1.89 GAA average during this run since March 10. The Red Wings have a lot of pride and won't be laying down here. Under Mike Babckock, this team is an incredible 41-6 coming off a road win vs. a division rival including 14-1 since last season. Chicago has won four straight, but they are just 7-12 at home in that situation over the past 15 years. I like Detroit at the nice odds here.
