Detroit vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 17, 2021).

The Detroit Red Wings have already played one match this season. Detroit hosted Tampa Bay and were very close to winning the game. The Red Wings were in the lead until the 54th minute. However, they showed poor defensive performance in the last 7 minutes and conceded three goals in a row. The game went into overtime, and Tampa managed to snatch the victory (6:7 OT).

Tyler Bertuzzi had an incredible game and scored a poker. He is one of the key players in the Red Wings' squad, and will definitely contribute to the team's success if he manages to avoid injuries.

The Vancouver Canucks lost in almost all of their preseason games. In the first game of the regular season, the Canucks played away against Edmonton and avoided defeat in regulation by netting two goals in the last eight minutes. However, Edmonton prevailed in the penalty shootout (2:3).

Thatcher Demko had a great game and saved 32 shots. If it was not for his successful actions, Travis Green's charges would surely have lost in regulation time. He has a good chance of replacing Jaroslav Halák as the main goalie for the Canucks.
