Red Wings vs. Canucks Picks

Money Line Pick for Red Wings vs. Canucks

  • Detroit Red Wings -121 (4 Units)

The Red Wings have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively and scored 12 goals in their last three road games. They’ve also played well on special teams, converting over 24 percent of their power play opportunities. The Canucks are one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to penalty kills, and they’re not playing well defensively, giving up 11 goals in their last three home games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Red Wings.

Vancouver will have a hard time keeping up with Detroit because they’re not playing well offensively and have scored seven goals in their last three home games. They’ve done a better job on special teams, converting over 19 percent of their power play opportunities. The Red Wings aren’t great at killing penalties, but they’re playing better defensively and will keep Vancouver’s offense in check. Take Detroit on the money line.
