Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils Prediction 

Detroit comes into this matchup after picking up an overtime win on Wednesday against Calgary, and they have won three of their last four games. The Red Wings are 5-5-1 at home this year, while the Devils are 9-4-0 on the road. New Jersey has also won three of their last four games, but they are coming off of a shutout loss. The Red Wings are a low-scoring team and will have to face a very tough New Jersey defense here, but the Wings have locked down defensively in recent games and I like them with the plus money here.
