Oilers vs. Red Wings Pick
Oilers vs. Red Wings Moneyline Pick
- Red Wings +120
The Oilers are playing their third game in four nights here and their fourth straight road contest here. Back-to-back losses to the Islanders and Devils are cause for concern and fatigue clearly will be a factor in this contest. The Oilers have work to do to get up to speed as they miss Hyman’s presence on both ends of the ice. Detroit has been sharp, winning four straight since a season-opening loss to Montreal. That includes a pair of wins over Toronto, one over Tampa Bay and another over two-time defending champ Florida. The Red Wings are at home, with a rest advantage, and have played well of late. Give the edge to the Red Wings here.
