Vancouver at Detroit

Vancouver got the monkey off its back the last game with an impressive 5-3 victory at the New York Rangers as a +290 dog. Veteran left wing Daniel Sedin has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak, plus 47 points (19 goals, 28 assists) against Detroit. Newcomer Loui Eriksson has also been a Detroit-killer over the years with 32 points (17 goals, 15 assists) in 39 encounters. Detroit has a losing record overall and is a .500 team at home. They are favored but have lost five of six, ranked #19 in goals scored, #17 in goals allowed and #21 in penalty killing. This is an even game, so back the big dog and play Vancouver.
