Detroit at Washington

Detroit is finally taking strong steps forward winning three of five, including the last game at Chicago, 6-3, as a +135 dog. Detroit is working on two days of rest while Washington is working on one day. Washington relies on an attacking offense but there have been flaws, splitting the last two games including a 4-3 loss at home to Calgary as -150 chalk. Washington is 3-for-21 on the power play and their save percentage is #21 in the NHL (.903). The road team has won five of the last seven meetings and this is an excellent situational spot for the improving underdog. Play Detroit.
