Red Wings vs Blackhawks Prediction

I’m on the Red Wings here. The win for Chicago over Colorado was nice, but once again it was at home where the Blackhawks have played their better hockey the entire season up to this point, compared to on the road where Chicago has just 5 wins in 21 road games so far this season. Detroit has a tendency to run hot and cold at times, but when they’re hot, they’re red hot like they are now and while the price is a little more than I’d like to pay admittedly, I’m not into stepping in front of the Red Wings right now especially at home when backing the Detroit Red Wings is the alternative. Give me the Red Wings at home in this one.
