Colorado at Detroit

Over the years, the Detroit Red Wings have always had good teams, and those teams have thrived on home ice. They are 7-4-2 in 13 appearances here this season. When they have played before the hometown fans against a poor road team, the numbers are scary good. Against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400, Detroit is an amazing 193-59-17 on home ice. That is close to 77% winners. Colorado on the other hand, has struggled against teams that defended well in their previous game. The Avalanche is just 23-52 in their last 75 games when squaring off vs. an opponent that allowed 2 or less in their last contest. It's hard to buck these numbers, so go with Detroit.
