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.
