Winnipeg at Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings have played at a high level for many years, and the one thing they have done better than any team in the NHL over the long haul is take care of business on home ice. This is a team that is 319-137-6 in all home games vs. good or bad opponents in their last 462. If that isn't a tough enough environment to tackle, they are playing better at home right now than even those gaudy numbers. Detroit is 8-0 in their last eight on home ice and has scored 36 times, for an average of 4.5 per contest. That puts Winnipeg in a near impossible position. The Jets have scored more than 4 goals on the road just one time this season, and despite scoring 5 they lost the game. They have not mustered much resistance on the road anyway where they are 27-57-1 in their last 85. Go with Detroit here.
