Utah at Detroit

Utah is in the Motor City tonight to face the surging Red Wings. At home, Detroit is 10-6-1 and scoring 3.4 goals per game (ninth best in the league), but the Wings are also allowing 3.6 on home ice, which ranks as the sixth highest. Inconsistent goaltending has plagued the high-flying Wings this year, and while Jon Gibson seems to have found a groove, winning his sixth straight last night against the Islanders, he will likely be given a rest for tonight’s game. The responsibility would fall on Cam Talbot’s shoulders, and the 13-year vet is 0-5 in his last five starts, allowing 19 goals (3.8 per game). The Wings are on a 5-1 heater, scoring four goals in four of the five wins. The offense is brimming with confidence after Tuesday's come-from-behind victory, and gets a chance to pin its ears back here against a Mammoth team that has allowed four goals in four of its past five. Take Utah/Detroit to play OVER the total.
