Detroit Excels Against Non-Division Opponents
The Red Wings have been a surprising team this season. They have kept pace with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers in the Atlantic Division, despite having a poor record against divisional opponents. Detroit is 2-4-2 against teams in the Atlantic Division and 11-4-3 against teams outside it.
The Red Wings are 6-3-1 in their last ten games, but they are coming off a disappointing 5-1 Thursday loss to the Panthers. Detroit played one of its most complete games of the season the game prior by defeating the Lightning 4-2, an upset according to most sportsbook odds.
“We didn’t give ourselves much of a chance,” Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde told the Detroit Free Press after Thursday’s game. “Turnovers, lost battles, lost battles at the blue line. We had poor gaps, we retreated. Really disappointing and a really easy night for Florida. It’ll be interesting to see how our guys respond from this.”
Detroit is 14-12 against the spread (ATS) this season, so it’s important to keep that in mind when betting online.
