LiontipsDetroit vs Los Angeles. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 18, 2022).
Command Analysis
Detroit hope to make the playoffs this season. The team was off to a great start; the Red Wings got a clean-sheet victory over Montreal (3:0) at home before beating New Jersey (5:2) away. In both matches, Detroit were reliable on defense and didn't allow their opponents to create scoring chances. On the other hand, Derek Lalonde's men failed to score any goals on power play.
Los Angeles were a solid midtable team in the last season, and we think they have a very similar year ahead of them. The Kings are yet to pick form; they suffered defeats to Vegas (3:4) and Seattle (1:4), but prevailed over Minnesota (7:6) away from home. With Todd McLellan in charge, Los Angeles play attacking hockey, but the team will have to adapt to that style as time goes on.

Detroit are solid on defense, they conceded only two goals in two games. Los Angeles might opt for a more defensive strategy as well, especially after conceding six goals to Minnesota. We recommend playing the individual total of the visiting team.
