OT included. This is an almost identical play to a couple of other plays we made (and won) on Sunday when Chicago defeated Buffalo, 5-1 and Nashville defeated Columbus. The Sabres were coming off three wins in a row, which was capped off by a big win over the then red-hot Blues on Saturday afternoon. Buffalo’s game against Chicago was sandwiched between that aforementioned big win over the Blues and its bye week. The Jackets’ game against Nashville was sandwiched between their big win over Pittsburgh on Friday and their bye week, which started on Monday. Now Detroit finds itself in the exact same scenario. 

Detroit is coming off a huge weekend in which they defeated both Washington and Pittsburgh in back-to-back nationally televised games. The Red Wings were taking back +160 against the Capitals and +239 in Pittsburgh so they were not expected to win either one, let alone both. The Red Wings will now play this game basking in their glory with a their bye week on deck starting tomorrow. This really sets up as a difficult spot for the Red Wings, especially considering that they’re one of the easier teams in the NHL to beat. We also love that these two have played twice already this year with Detroit winning both times by a single goal. In a very difficult scheduling spot, the Red Wings are now being asked to defeat the superior team three times in a row in the same season and that is not likely going to happen. If you decide to make just one bet today, this should be it.
