Detroit at Chicago

Surprisingly, these teams are meeting for the first time this season and Detroit will attempt to slow down the Blackhawks, who have won six in a row. The Red Wings had won three straight themselves before losing to Vegas and then at Buffalo. However, the Wings could have the upper hand today as Chicago is 3-8 its last 11 games playing on two days rest and is 3-8 its last 11 Sunday games. Also, the Blackhawks have won only two of their last eight versus the Atlantic Division. Cam Ward is expected in goal for Chicago, and he has a hefty 3.75 goals-against average and an .891 save percentage to go along with a 10-8-4 record. Jonathan Bernier had 35 saves in a 2-0 shutout at Ottawa his last start for the Wings on Feb. 2. Take the Red Wings.
