Detroit vs Pittsburgh: prediction for the NHL game

Detroit sit in 12th place in the Eastern Conference table with 70 points. The Red Wings almost never win two games in a row, but sometimes they can upset favorites. For example, recently, the Wings defeated Tampa Bay (4:3). But the team couldn't build on that success and suffered a defeat to Florida (2:5) in the following game.

Usually, Detroit concede three or four goals when they face strong opponents, even when they play at home. Moreover, currently the team is without its attack leaders - Zadina, Fabbri and Larkin are all out injured.

Pittsburgh are level on points with Boston, but if the Penguins can deliver good results in the remaining games of the regular season, they can climb to the 6th line in the table. However, the team has not been able to mount a winning streak for a long time.

The Pens defeated the Islanders (6:3), then lost to Boston (1:2), and got back at them in the reverse fixture (4:0). Evgeni Malkin has returned to the ranks after a minor injury, but Tristan Jarry, the main goalie, is still sidelined.
