Minus 130 on Detroit? Doesn't happen often and I'll take it here. They've won six of their last seven games and face an Edmonton team that has lost four of their last six. Edmonton is spent and home underdogs of +100 to +200 that are playing 8 or more games in 14 days are just 8-37 (18%) since 1996 in March games. Also, home dogs that average 29+ shots/game facing a team with an average goalie (SV Pct 89.5-91.5%) are only 19-62 (23%) since 1996. Detroit is averagin 4.6 goals per game over their last five compared to 2.6 for Edmonton. Two stars on the Red Wings.
