Red Wings vs Penguins Moneyline Pick: Penguins (-150)
Both teams are fighting for a chance to keep their postseason hopes alive in this game, but it’s the Penguins who should come out victorious against Detroit.
Pittsburgh has had more success down the stretch to close out the season, winning four of its last five games and having a nine-game point streak as well. Although the Penguins don’t have the strongest offense in the league, averaging just 3.01 goals a game, that has changed recently. They have scored 4.4 goals a game in their last five.
The Red Wings, meanwhile, have been going in the opposite direction, averaging 2.6 goals while losing six of their last eight games. Those struggles should continue as Pittsburgh’s defense has remained solid, allowing 2.6 goals in its last five.
With the Penguins pouring it on offensively but continuing to hold it down on defense, the Red Wings should have a tough time keeping up.
Red Wings vs Penguins Player Prop: Patrick Kane Anytime Goal (+175)
Though the Red Wings have been struggling offensively, Kane has been doing what he can to keep them on the board and in games. Kane has scored in three of his last four games and four of his last six, with two of those games coming on the road.
Although Kane has not yet scored against Pittsburgh this season, he does have an assist in the game against the Penguins. With expected Pens starter Alex Nedeljkovic having a few issues recently with a .907 save percentage in his last three games, Kane has a good shot at getting one past him.
