San Jose has a winning road record while Detroit is .500 at home. Detroit is favored, but is terrible on offense at #25 in the NHL in goals scored, #20 on the power play. Every game with them is a slow, defensive grind. The Red Wings are 6-13 following a win and 5-14 after allowing two goals or fewer in their previous game. Detroit is 1-4 against the Pacific Division and San Jose is in town, with the Sharks 19-7 when playing on two days of rest. San Jose has dominated the series, too with a 20-8 record, including 4-1 at Detroit. Take San Jose.
