Detroit at Chicago

Can Chicago win this game? Maybe. But we'll instead back them on the puck line taking +1.5 goals. In what should be a very low scoring game, getting +1.5 at only -165 is a gift. Yes, Detroit has dominated the Blackhawks, winning nearly every game they have played the past few seasons. But in December of this year, Chicago lost by one goal here at home. Detroit is an average team on the road this year. While they have won 22 of 29 at home, they are just a .500 team on the road. They score nearly a goal per game less and give up nearly a goal per game more away from home. Chicago plays decent defense at home and despite losing four of their last five games, they allowed more than 2 goals just once. In February, they have held eight of their twelve opponents to just 2 goals or less! With Detroit averaging just 2.6 per game on the road this season, it's very possible for Chicago to hold Detroit to 2 goals here and Chicago should be able to get on the board.
