Money Line PickBest Bet
DET Red Wings Win(-140)

The Detroit Red Wings continue to fight for their playoff lives when they host the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings have struggled mightily down the stretch, but they put together a much-needed well-rounded performance on Thursday night in a 6-3 win over the Flyers. Needing to essentially win out and hope for the Senators to stumble, Detroit should come out with plenty of urgency in this one. Dylan Larkin continues to lead the way with his strong 200-foot game, and Patrick Kane is in the middle of a hot streak with 14 points on 4 goals and 10 assists over his last 8 games.

New Jersey enters this contest officially eliminated from playoff contention. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and have been out-scored 10-3 over their last 2 contests. The Devils are a tough team to trust given their goal-scoring struggles, as they currently rank 27th in the NHL scoring just 2.75 goals per game. They’ve now gone 4 straight games without a power play goal, while the Detroit power play has converted on 4 of its last 5 opportunities. Playing their last home game of the regular season, the Red Wings should be able to have a strong night against the directionless Devils. Take confidence in Detroit finding the win column.
