Detroit at Columbus

Detroit is at Columbus and you have to look at a slow-paced, defensive-oriented game. Detroit is on a 5-0 run UNDER the total and the UNDER is 4-0 in the Red Wings' last four games playing on one day of rest. They come off a 3-0 shutout of Edmonton as Jimmy Howard made 22 saves. Detroit has gone five games without allowing a goal in the first or second period. The UNDER is 18-6-4 in the Red Wings' last 28 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game. They are also 23-11-5 UNDER the total against the Central Division. The Red Wings have yielded just eight goals over their last seven contests. The last game the Red Wings scored more than two goals for the first time in five games, but they've lost only once in regulation during that span, so the slow pace is working for them. And speaking of slow paced, Columbus is No. 27 in the NHL in goals scored and No. 28 on the power play! They like a slow-paced game, too, off a 2-1 win over Vancouver and have allowed just 5 goals the last three contests, winning all three. The UNDER is 5-1 in the Blue Jackets' last six when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game. Play Detroit/Columbus UNDER the total.
