Red Wings vs Ducks Key Stats
Detroit lacks offensive power and averages less than three goals scored per game this season. Both Dylan Larkin and Dominik Kubalik have done great individually and have seven goals and over 10 assists each and will play a crucial role in the upcoming game too.
Their defense has been poor overall, conceding more than three goals per game on average. The goaltenders have failed to do well despite their best efforts and have conceded a goal per 10 shots faced on average this season.
Anaheim have only managed to score less than three goals per game and this is one of the reasons for their poor season. Most of the work has been done by Troy Terry and Trevor Zegras as both have over six goals each but have lacked proper support from other players.
The defense of the Ducks is one of the poorest in the league with 67 goals conceded in 15 games. They have failed as the team has a lot of work to do going forward this season if they want to save their season.
Red Wings vs Ducks Betting Prediction
Detroit have played better than Anaheim and are favorites to win this game. Though both teams have poor defense, Detroit are in an advantageous position due to their better offense. They are likely to exploit Anaheim's defense and score more to get the win.
Anaheim have not played well at home either, losing over 45 times in 70 games. Their poor defense is likely to add more misery to their already poor offense.
Prediction: Take Detroit, ML (-115)
