Detroit at Los Angeles

A pair of strong defensive teams meet, which may even be a Stanley Cup Finals preview. Detroit is dynamite on defense at #8 in goals allowed, #7 in penalty killing. They had to play last night, a loss at Anaheim, and this is their third game in four nights, so don't look for an up-tempo offensive game. Detroit is 26-12-4 UNDER the total when playing on no rest, and the UNDER is 32-15-8 when the Red Wings face the Pacific Division. The defending champion Kings know something about defense too, #9 in the league in goals allowed - and are hot, winning seven in a row. They've allowed five goals the last four games! LA is on a 3-0-1 run UNDER, plus 57-25-15 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference. And when these teams clash the UNDER is 3-1-2 in the last six meetings. Take the UNDER in this one.
