Detroit vs. Winnipeg: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Detroit hasn't had the best start to the new season and is currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. The team from Michigan has earned only nine points in nine games and doesn't look too threatening. Derek Lalonde men got a taste of victory and in the second half of October they beat Nashville (5:2), the Islanders (1:0) and New Jersey (5:3) in turn. Later, the Wings suffered a big loss in Buffalo (3:5) and were unable to start their home series with a win over Edmonton (2:3, OT), having lost the lead twice.

The Red Wings' offense is not living up to expectations. In nine starts, the hosts have scored only 25 goals, which is only 2.78 goals per game. Lucas Raymond (1+7) remains the Reds' top scorer, although many expected to see completely different players in his place. Detroit is slightly better in attack in Michigan, but is missing more. Cam Talbot has become the number one for now, but the Canadian has reflected a modest 91.28% of shots in his possessions.

Disqualifications and injuries

Jack Campbell and Tyler Motte will not play against the Canadians.

Interesting trends for betting

• Detroit is allowing an average of 3.11 goals per game.

Krylia have failed to improve their defense in recent matches and have not improved their defensive performance.

• The Red Wings are winning 50.7 percent of their faceoffs.

Derek Lalonde players have started to perform better at the point and win the puck for their teammates more often.

Current form

Winnipeg has been among the conference leaders since the first days of the season, but now the visitors are the best team in the West and the overall NHL standings. The Fighters have earned 16 points in nine starts and only recently suffered their first defeat in the regular season. Scott Arniel team played well in the last away series and took two points from St. Louis (3:2), Seattle (4:3, OT) and Calgary (5:3). After returning home, Mark Scheifele team could not cope with the onslaught of Toronto (4:6). The Jets were losing 0:4 at the beginning of the second period and were never able to catch up with their opponent.

Despite the weak defense in the match against the Maple Leafs, the Canadians remain the most reliable team in the conference. The Jets allowed only 22 goals in October, or 2.44 per game on average. Things are going well in the attack, too. Kyle Connor has gained crazy form and burst into the top ten scorers in the league. The American forward has 14 points (8+46) in the goal+pass system.

Disqualifications and injuries

Ville Heinola will be out for the Jets in Michigan due to a previous injury.

Interesting trends for betting

• The Jets have received 4.7 penalty minutes in their last games.

The visitors don't get sent off that often and mostly concede when playing with equal numbers.

• Winnipeg blocks 15 shots per game

The "fighters" defensemen often sacrifice themselves to prevent the puck from reaching the team goal.
