This is a great price for the superior Red Wings. Detroit owns the top wildcard position in the Eastern Conference. The Red Wings have 74 points on the season. Nashville has 62 points. Only four NHL teams have given up more goals than the Predators, who surrender 3.4 goals per game. The Predators could be sellers before Friday’s NHL trade deadline. Center Ryan O’Reilly, Nashville's points leader, is one player frequently mentioned as a trade candidate. So the Predators may not have their full focus. Detroit has been solid on the road at 16-10-4. Goalie John Gibson has been stellar on the road for the Red Wings with a 12-5-0 record, 1.89 GAA, .937 save percentage, and four shutouts. Gibson was spectacular in his last start, a 2-1 Detroit road win against the Senators last Thursday. Cam Talbot was in the net for Detroit in its last game, a 5-2 away loss to the Hurricanes this past Saturday. The Red Wings are 7-1 the past eight times following a road loss. Take the Red Wings.
