Red Wings on Tired Legs

The Red Wings faced off against the Calgary Flames on Saturday night and now they are going to have tired legs. On Thursday the Red Wings faced off against the Edmonton Oilers and they were able to secure the 3-2 victory in a shootout. Dylan Larkin and Michael Rasmussen both scored a goal to help pace the team. Heading into Saturday’s game the Red Wings had won four games in a row. 

The Red Wings are averaging 2.8 goals while their defense is giving up 3.09 goals per game. The offense is ranked 21st in the league while the defense is ranked 19th. They have a shot differential of -2.71 which is 28th in the league. They have a shooting percentage of 10.6 which is 12th in the league. Lucas Raymond has scored 20 goals and added 36 assists. 

Canucks Defense Let Them Down

The Vancouver Canucks, in the last game, faced off against the Dallas Stars, and they weren’t great, especially with the defense. The Canucks scored three goals, but the defense gave up five goals, and that led to the defeat. Thatcher Demko started in goal and saved 11 of the 14 shots that he faced. They are going to need him to be a whole lot better moving forward to turn it around. 

The Canucks are averaging 2.84 goals while their defense is giving up 3.14 goals per game. The offense is ranked 20th in the league while the defense is ranked 22nd. They are facing only 27.04 shots per game which is 9th best in the league. Quinn Hughes has scored 14 goals and added 45 assists so far this season. 

Detroit Red Wings vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

Straight up here I would probably take the Red Wings but they are going to be on tired legs and that is going to hurt them here. The Canucks are averaging 2.84 goals per game but against the tired legs, they are going to struggle. The Red Wings are also going to really struggle to get any sort of offense going, and it’s going to be the Canucks that will come out on top. Back the Canucks on the money line.
