This is a long road trip for Detroit, riding a two-game skid and scoring just four goals. Offensive depth is already a problem, ranked #19 on the power play. While the top line of Zetterberg, Larkin and Justin Abdelkader is playing well, Detroit is going bankrupt with its other three lines, getting only seven of their 15 goals. The Red Wings are just 2-5 against the Pacific Division. They come off a 4-1 loss and the UNDER is 8-1-3 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Detroit is also rested and the UNDER is 6-0 when the team has three or more days rest. They head to a young and rebuilding Edmonton team that finally has hope and optimism behind top pick Connor McDavid. They've also won two in a row with McDavid leading the way, scoring two goals and setting up a pair to lead the team to two straight victories. The Oilers are 4-1 when playing on two days rest. The defense has allowed three total goals the last two games, part of a 5-1 run UNDER the total after a victory, making this a great spot for the home team in a defensive battle. Take Edmonton and the UNDER.
