Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils Prediction 

Detroit comes into this game on two two-game winning streak, but they did not play well in their last game against the Islanders. The Red Wings only had 11 shots on goal, but they were fortunate that Lyon was able to keep the shutout in the win. New Jersey has allowed 14 goals in their last two games, but they are also a much better offensive team than Detroit is. This should be an interesting game to watch and I think either team could win, so give me Detroit with the plus money.
