Despite the loss of Nicklas Lidstrom, don't count Detroit out. Yes, they are old. But, every year there are doubters and every year this team continues to deliver. This team still has talent. St. Louis put together a great season last year, but were swept in the Western Conference semifinals. Last year in division games, this team scored just 2.3 goals per game. And, the Red Wings allowed just 2.3 goals per game to division opponents. I like Detroit's chances here so take them at plus odds.
