Detroit's offense is clicking, off a 4-3 win over Buffalo. Over the last eight games they've tallied 21 goals, part of an 8-4-3 run OVER the total. The defense, though, is a concern ranked #17 in the league in goals allowed, and #20 in penalty killing. Penalty-killing is a major concern, having allowed six power-play goals in the last four contests. New Jersey has a good offense, winning three in a row while scoring three goals in each game. They come off a 3-2 overtime victory over Dallas on Saturday, the top team in the league. The OVER is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings and this shapes up as another offensive show. Play this one to finish OVER the total.
