The urgency is ramping up for Detroit, which is trying to prevent a late-season swoon for the third straight year. The Red Wings are desperately wanting to make the playoffs for the first time in a decade, and they need to start winning immediately. Fortunately, John Gibson is expected to start, and he is 24-15-2 with a 2.57 goals-against average with four shutouts. He has been especially efficient on the road, where he is 13-7-0 with a sparkling 2.01 GAA and a .932 save percentage. All four of his shutouts have been away from home this season. Detroit has gone UNDER eight of 11 overall and six of eight on the road. Dallas has stayed UNDER four in five of its Saturday games. Detroit won the last meeting 4-3 in overtime on Dec. 23. Take the Red Wings and the UNDER.

Dallas at Detroit
Dallas beat the Red Wings for the sixth time in a row on Dec. 11 in the only meeting this season. The Stars have won five of eight although they do come off a 3-2 overtime loss at New Jersey on Sunday in their third game in four days. Jake Oettinger should be back in net tonight after Scott Wedgewood stopped 25 of 28 shots against the Islanders. Oettinger is 13-9-2 with a 2.96 goals-against average and missed the past two games with an illness. The Stars are 7-0 against teams that scored two or fewer goals their previous game and Detroit defeated Tampa Bay 2-1 on Sunday. The Stars are 7-1 versus opponents that allowed two or fewer goals their previous game. The Red Wings have lost four of five as underdogs of +110 to +150. Take the Stars - Max Play.
