Red Wings vs Blue Jackets Key Stats

Detroit's offense has scored over 70 goals in 23 games. Contributions have come from players like Dylan Larkin and Dominik Kubalik, who have scored nine goals each. But they can be better while converting their chances.

Their defensive unit has been poor in the last few games, proving too costly for the team. Detroit needs to reshape their formation as they look for better returns in the upcoming games.

Columbus have not been at their best on offense and need more contributions from the team to have a bigger positive impact on the result. Apart from Boone Jenner and Johnny Gaudreau who have 9 and 8 goals respectively, other team members have not scored enough.

Conceding over 85 goals this season, the defense has failed to provide any support to the team. All three goaltenders have failed to manage things and will need to step up, as their team looks to the buildup for a better season.

Red Wings vs Blue Jackets Betting Prediction

Detroit are coming into this one with a losing streak and will be under pressure to get a win. Columbus will be motivated to come up with their best performance in this game.

Columbus have a positive head-to-head record and are likely to exploit Detroit's struggling defense to cover the spread for a win in this game.

Prediction: Take, Columbus, ML(-102)
