1.5 units on Game Total OVER 5 -128 (risk 1.5 to return 2.67)
Result:
WIN

These teams are in last place because defense has been an afterthought much of the season. Colorado is #29 in the NHL in goals allowed and #24 in penalty killing. At least the young offense has come alive, winning three of the last five. Colorado is 10-4-1 OVER the total playing on two days of rest. Detroit is #26 in goals allowed, and that poor defense is why the Red Wings are about to miss the playoffs for the first time since the 1989-90 season. They come off a 5-4 win at Arizona as Detroit's power play converted on two of seven chances. Look for a lot more offense than defense. Play OVER the total in this match up.
