Red Wings vs Hockey Club Prediction
The Utah Hockey Club have played some of their best hockey over these last two weeks, and it makes them worth a look here. The problem is we’re getting a true pick ’em line, so there’s not a lot of value with Utah. Despite three straight losses, the Red Wings have still shown more promise this season, and they have 16 wins at home. Losing twice to the Blue Jackets isn’t ideal, but I’m willing to give the Red Wings the benefit of the doubt and expect a bounceback. Pick ’em spot, I’ll lean toward the Red Wings on their home ice.
