LiontipsAnaheim vs Detroit. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 10, 2022).
Command Analysis
Anaheim have been experiencing serious problems with the line-up lately. Nine of the Ducks players are out due to injury or covid-19, and one player is still a doubt. The hosts' goalie Gibson, for instance, won't be able to help his team in the upcoming game.
At home, the Ducks recorded a confident victory over Philadelphia (4:1), thus breaking a losing streak. However, the Flyers were also weakened by the pandemic and injuries. After that, Anaheim suffered a defeat to the Rangers (1:4).
Before traveling to Anaheim,Detroit played four games at home. They got an easy win over New Jersey (5:2) in the first match, and the Wings' forward Larkin netted a hat-trick as well as gave an assist. The Red Wings failed to build on that success and lost to Washington (1:3) and Boston (1:5).
Detroit bounced back after those defeats and crushed San Jose (6:2). Goalie Nedeljkovic saved 93% of the Sharks' shots on goal.
