Detroit comes off a 3-0 win over Vegas as recent addition Petr Mrazek made 18 saves. He was making his third start since being acquired from Chicago at the trade deadline. Detroit's offense, though, has scored just 11 goals in its last five road games. The offense is 20th in the NHL in goals scored (2.85 per game) and 17th in shooting percentage. They begin a four-game road trip and face a Washington defense that is sixth in penalty killing, fourth in goals given up (2.57 per game), and sixth in save percentage (.908). Take Detroit/Washington UNDER the total.

Detroit has a winning road mark (14-11-3) and has won its last two in the second of a back-to-back. They won against Anaheim, 5-4, and took down Vancouver, 3-2, as a +142 road underdog. The Red Wings are on a 9-6 run, winning five times as a dog. Meanwhile, Washington is on a 7-7 run with losses as chalk of -120, -110, -110, -186, -165, and -215. They've won the last two games, but both were in extra frames as favorites of -110 and -142. Detroit has won the only meeting this season, 4-2, as a +120 dog. Play Detroit.

NHL
Washington at Detroit
December 29, 2024
5:00 PM Eastern
The teams are meeting for the first time this season and Detroit is seeking its first win under new coach Todd McLellan. This will be a good opportunity for the Red Wings, who will start Alex Lyon in net, and he is 5-5-1 with a 2.99 goals-against average. Detroit has won three of his past four starts. Detroit looks to bounce back from a 5-2 loss on Friday and the Red Wings have won five of six following a home loss of at least three goals. Washington is playing on consecutive days and Charlie Lindgren is probable for the Capitals. He has lost two of three starts, including 4-1 to Boston on Monday. Detroit has a game under its belt with its new coach and a new lease on life while seeking to end a losing skid. Take the Red Wings.
