Carolina at Detroit

Carolina is 3-4 the last seven games, even winning as a +140 dog over Pittsburgh 5-2. They prefer a slow, defensive style, ranking #27 in the NHL in goals scored, with the third-best penalty killing unit. Carolina is 26-10-5 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference, plus 32-14-10 UNDER versus a team with a winning record. Detroit has been stumbling on a 5-10-2 stretch, now tied with Boston and Pittsburgh for the final three spots. They are home but just 1-3-2 in their last six on home ice after Sunday's 2-1 loss to Washington. Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg has been very quiet lately, scoring one goal in 18 games since returning from a head injury. The Red Wings are also 0-7 in the fourth game of a four-in-six situation. Detroit is 5-1-1 UNDER against the Eastern Conference, plus 3-0-1 UNDER the total in the Red Wings last four home games. And when these teams meet the UNDER is 6-2. Take Carolina and the game total UNDER.
