Detroit is 29-9 on the road this season - league best - including 10 straight. They are a perfect 13-0 on the road against division opponents and 10-0 as a road favorite of -200 or more this season. Sure they've clinched the Presidents' Trophy and home ice for the playoffs but they are too good of a team to let down here. Chicago on the other hand has dropped five of six and thirteen of their last seventeen. With the talent difference here, Detroit can sleep walk their way through this and still come out with the win. Detroit takes care of business vs. weak teams having gone 17-4 this year vs. losing teams. They have won division games this year by an average score of 3.9 - 2.1. Detroit here.
