Hockey Club vs Red Wings Prediction 

Utah comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games and they will be at home for this contest. The Hockey Club is 15-13-7 at home this year, while the Red Wings are 14-16-3 on the road. Detroit has dropped three of their last four games and they have played poorly over the last few weeks, which has pretty much eliminated them from the playoffs. Detroit has allowed at least four goals in each of their last three losses and lost to Utah by a score of 4-2 just a few weeks ago. We have seen Detroit’s defense really struggle down the stretch and I think we are going to see plenty of goals in this game. Take the over here.
