New Jersey has a terrific road record and a great defense (sixth in goals allowed), yet they are a big road dog. Detroit is home but on a 2-4 run, losing three times in a row as favorites of -115, -185 and -200. The Red Wings avoided working overtime against the Flames by scoring three straight goals in the second period. They held a 14-5 shot advantage in those 20 minutes the last game, in a 4-2 win that was their second straight game sailing OVER the total. But Detroit is 3-7 in their last 10 games when following a win, plus on a 5-2-2 run OVER the total. The Red Wings dropped the last overall meeting 3-2 in overtime at New Jersey three weeks ago, so grab the dog in an offensive show. Take New Jersey and the OVER.
