The Detroit Red Wings and the Dallas Stars meet in NHL action from the American Airlines Center on Tuesday night.
The Detroit Red Wings will be looking to bounce back from a 5-3 loss at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. Tyler Bertuzzi and Lucas Raymond each have a team-high 17 points with Bertuzzi logging a team-high 9 goals with 8 assists and a team-best +9 plus/minus rating while Raymond has a team-high 10 assists and a team-high 3 power play goals this season. Dylan Larkin has 13 points with 7 goals and 6 assists and Moritz Seider has 12 points with 10 assists of his own on the year. Vladislav Namestnikov also has 10 points with 7 goals this season. Alex Nedeljkovic has gone 4-2-2 in goal for Detroit with a 2.78 GAA and a .918 save percentage while Thomas Greiss is 4-5 with a 3.20 GAA and a .906 save percentage this season.
The Dallas Stars will be out to build on a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in their last game. Miro Heiskanen leads the Stars with 12 points including a team-high 9 assists while Joe Pavelski and Tyler Seguin each have 8 points with Pavelski splitting his tally between 4 goals and 4 assists while Seguin has 5 goals on the year to lead the Starts. Alexander Radulov and Ryan Suter each have 7 points with a goal and 6 helpers as well this season. Braden Holtby’s gone 2-4-1 in goal for Dallas with a 2.54 GAA and a .9118 save percentage while Anton Khudobin has gone 3-2-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage this year.
Detroit is 13-55 in their last 68 road games and 17-36 in their last 53 games played on no rest while the under is 12-3-2 in their last 17 Tuesday games. Dallas is 2-6 in their last 8 games overall and 1-5 in their last 6 games as a favorite while the under is 7-1-1 in their last 9 games against the Eastern Conference.
I don’t want anything to do with either team in this spot, as Detroit can’t win on the road and Dallas can’t win period for the most part. Instead, I’m going to side with the under as I envision this being a game where the offenses or lack thereof, make the defense and goaltending look a lot better than it is. Give me the under here.
