Detroit -½ +205 over CHICAGO

12:35 PM EST. Over the past two nights we played some games that are being repeated today and if we trusted that there was value yesterday or Friday, we trust that same value lies today. Therefore, we’re going to play a bunch of the same games starting with this one.

The Red Wings lost 4-1 to Chicago on Friday night but Detroit held a time of possession edge in the offensive end during five-on-five play, they had more scoring chances and also had more shots on net. The difference? Goaltending, which is something that is almost entirely unpredictable. Thomas Greiss has a save percentage of .889 while Chicago’s Kevin Lankinen posted a save % of .968.

Outside of a big upgrade in goal, Detroit also brought in some solid depth players to help round out the middle of the roster. Vladislav Namestnikov, Bobby Ryan, Jon Merrill and Troy Stecher are not game-changers, but they are all capable in the right role and give the Wings NHL-caliber players in places where they didn’t have them in 2019/20. Those kind of modest improvements for bad teams may not land on the radar of big hockey media or with casual fans, but bettors should take note because it can help us beat the rest of the market to a team “on the rise.” In a 50/50 proposition at worst, give us the great value here.
