Detroit at Chicago

Detroit goes for a franchise-record ten straight wins tonight. They might get it, but we don't see them winning by 2+ goals. The Blackhawks have been playing very good hockey as well, winning four of their last five games. In those games they are averaging 3.8 goals per game. Road teams having won five or more in a row are just 64-99 (40%) over the past five seasons. If that hot road team is facing an opponent who has won two or more in a row, the success drops down to just 21% (7-27)! So, we give Chicago a decent shot here to win and a great shot at keeping it close.
