San Jose is a long way from home, playing the second of a four-game Eastern swing. It's also the second of a back-to-back road spot, after pulling the upset at Washington last night. The power play ranks 14th, while the defense ranks 24th in penalty killing, 30th in goals allowed (3.54 per game), and 22nd in save percentage (.891). Detroit is on a 14-6 run and is 16-8-1 at home. They're well-rested, having had 2 days off. The power play is sixth in the NHL, while the defense is 12th in penalty killing. Play Detroit.

Detroit at San Jose

November 2, 2025

8:00 PM Eastern

Detroit is enjoying its best start in several years as new coach Todd McLellan has the Red Wings in second place in the Atlantic Division. They do come off a 5-2 loss at Anaheim, but they still have won eight of 11 and they are 8-0 their past eight games playing with one day of rest. Detroit is 5-0 on the road against teams that have a less than .400 home winning percentage. The Red Wings have won nine of 11 against the Pacific Division dating to last season. San Jose has lost 10 of its past 12 home games. The Sharks are unlikely to duplicate their huge upset of Colorado yesterday when Philipp Kurashev scored his second goal of the game 1:48 into overtime. The Avalanche outshot them 38-23. Alex Nedeljkovic is probable for the Sharks and he has a 3.59 goals-against average with an .886 save percentage. Cam Talbot is 4-1-0 with a 2.94 GAA for Detroit. Take the Red Wings.
