Detroit - Carolina: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Detroit was pretty good at the beginning of the calendar year and was a real contender for the playoffs. At the end of winter, the wings seriously slowed down and lost a huge number of points, so now the Michigan State club is only on the 11th line in the conference. The Red Wings have earned only 75 points in 74 games and are six points behind Montreal, which holds onto eighth place in the East. Todd McLellan's men are in bad shape and immediately lost to St. Louis (1-2, OT) after defeating Boston (2-1).

The main problem of the team at this stage of the season is a weak defensive game. Detroit has conceded 20 goals in the last seven games and scored only two wins in that span. Cam Talbo returned to the last line of defense of the hosts, but he does not help out his partners and has reflected only 90.27% of shots on his possessions this season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Andrew Kopp, Carter Mazur, Erik Gustavsson, Petr Mrazek and Elmer Soderblom will not play against the Hurricanes.

Interesting betting trends

• Detroit scores 2.85 goals on average
• The Red Wings are thrown only 27 times per game.

Current form

Carolina has been rocking for a long time, but now she has gained optimal shape and is trying to gain a foothold on the second line in the East. Rod Brindamore's men scored 96 points in 74 starts and will no longer be able to take first place in the Metropolitan Division. Washington is very far away, so the team from Raleigh just needs to try to keep their current position. Since the beginning of March, the Hurricanes have lost only three meetings. They played confidently on their ice and, after losing to Nashville (1-3), easily dealt with Montreal (4-1), the Islanders (6-4) and Washington (5-1).

Jordan Staal's squad has been playing well offensively for this stretch of the season. In the last five games, she scored 21 accurate shots and made great use of her chances. After the departure of Mikko Rantanen and Martin Nechas, Sebastian Aho became the leader of the guests' attack. The Finnish forward scored 70 goals (28+42) using the goal+pass system.

Disqualifications and injuries

William Carrier, Jesper Fast and Jordan Staal will not be able to help their partners in Michigan. Andrey Svechnikov's condition is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• Carolina is conceding 2.66 goals per game on average this season.
• The guests throw 31 times per match on average
