Detroit looks for their sixth win in eight games. All-Star Chris Osgood is back from his wrist injury and he's looking to atone for Detroit's 3-4 loss to Columbus on the 18th. It was a very rare loss by the Red Wings to the Blue Jackets as Detroit is 24-5-1 vs. Columbus the past ten years (9-2 the past three). Even in games played here in Columbus, Detroit dominates as they are 12-3-1 over the past ten years and 4-1 over the past three. Detroit is playing awesome defense right now and should have success on offense vs. a Blue Jackets defense that allows 3.3 per game at home and 3.5 in division games. Over the past two seasons, Detroit has only lost 6 of 31 road games vs. losing teams. They are 19-3 on the road vs. division opponents over that span.
