Red Wings vs Blackhawks: Odds & Prediction

Detroit is a -122 favorite, while Chicago is a +102 underdog. The over/under is set at 6.0 goals.

The Red Wings had hopes of making the playoffs, but Detroit is off to a slow start. However, this is a good spot for the Red Wings to get a road win.

The first game of a West Coast road trip and the first game back are always difficult due to the time change as Chicago should have some tired legs. The Red Wings should be able to get out to an early lead, while Talbot has been solid in goal and should limit Chicago's offense to get the win.

Prediction: Red Wings 4, Blackhawks 2.
