Detroit at Tampa Bay

Detroit has a stellar road record (14-6-3) because of balance all around and strong defense at #11 in the NHL in goals allowed. The Red Wings are off a 4-2 win at the NY Islanders as a dog, part of a 7-1 run on the road. Justin Abdelkader and Danny DeKeyser scored 1:11 apart in the second period, while Detroit rookie Dylan Larkin has recorded two goals and six assists in eight road games. The Red Wings are 117-54-8 working on three or more days rest. They head to Tampa Bay, a team they matchup well with. Tampa Bay failed to record a point in the first two meetings with the Red Wings, a pair of Detroit wins 3-1 and 2-1. Tampa Bay was favored each time. Both team's offenses have improved since then, so grab the talented dog again in a high scoring tilt. Take Detroit and the OVER.
